| dc.description | On 16 October 2008, FAO celebrated World Food Day with a parallel event entitled “Women have solutions to the food crisis: towards long-term structural changes”. This issue of the Dimitra newsletter focuses in particular on how – in an international context of rising food prices and raw material shortages – the livelihoods of the poorest populations, and of women in particular, are inextricably linked to their rights and their economic, political and social status within t heir community or country. One of the most glaring examples of this is provided by the link between food insecurity and the lack of access to land for women. Two workshops – one held in Mbour, for Senegal and Burkina Faso, and a second one held in Brussels for Dimitra’s partners – discussed this issue at length and arrived at the same conclusions and guidelines for action. Effective advocacy, training and education, information, communication, and access to and control of l and and economic production by women – there can be no authentic development without investing efforts and resources in these areas. | |
