<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear all,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">as agreed upon, here go the paragraphs I suggest on food crisis and women for the brochure we are preparing. Marcela has already sent the ones she prepared on climate change. We have not received any comments yet. PLEASE do send your comments to Marcela's and my paragraphs. It is important that we have this brochure made as a collective effort of the facilitation team. Thanks,</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">como habíamos acordado, aquí van los párrafos que sugiero para el folleto de la FTF en el tema crisis alimentaria. Marcela ya mandó los suyos sobre cambio climático sólo que por el momento no hemos recibido ningún comentario. Les agradezco que envíen comentarios tanto a los de Marcela como a los míos. Es fundamental que saquemos este folleto como esfuerzo conjunto del equipo de trabajo feminista. </font></div>

<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">At a time where the world is confronted by a serious food crisis, we, as women active in the global call to action against poverty, affirm that the world's raising problem of hunger is not a problem of production but of access to food, as there is a surplus in food resources. Beyond economic trends, climatic or protectionist factors that have an important impact on the current crisis, the main problem of this food crisis is the lack of access to land and properties and consequently to food, particularly among rural and indigenous women and household heads.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This situation is worsened when neutral policies are implemented that underestimate and ignore the role and contribution of rural and indigenous women in food production and through development strategies that have no gender perspective, with a negative impact on women's living conditions and their possibilities of contributing to food production and rural, local and regional development. </span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Since our inception, as FTF we have been advocating to put an end to the structural and macroeconomic policies implemented during the last 30 years under the leadership of the international financial institutions (IMF, WB, IDB and the WTO); we have called for a reform of these institutions so that the economy becomes a tool to support the fulfilment of the needs and aspiration of human beings and not in end in itself that only aims at obtaining profit for the few. </span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We have therefore called and continue to encourage governments around the world, together with a broad spectrum of women's organisations, to establish national agricultural budgets with a gender perspective and with sufficient funds allocation; to take into consideration the experience, role, responsibility and rights of men and women according to age and ethnicity; to secure women's access to tenure of land and the necessary resources and credit to work that land; to develop and support programmes and actions based on traditional knowledge, particularly in what refers to conservation and exchange of native seeds; for industrialised countries to reach the 1970s commitment to allocate 0.7% of their GDP to Official Development Aid (ODA) and moreover they should commit to reach 10% of ODA for gender equality and women's empowerment by 2010 and 20% by 2015. </span></p>
<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We believe that the current food, financial and climate crisis are interlinked and that our demands to overcome each of them is a demand to build a just and sustained economic, social and cultural system where the knowledge, practice and care of women are to be seen as examples that can provide solutions to those problems and must receive financial support from governments and international agencies. </span></p>
