<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>

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 class=MsoNormal

lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">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"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">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.

<P class=MsoNormal
style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">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.

<P class=MsoNormal
style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 5pt 5.65pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">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.

<P class=MsoNormal

lang=EN-GB style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">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.
