貧しい女性へのG8: それらが土を食べるようにしなさい

木曜日、2008年7月24日
RINFのフォーラムでこのレポートを論議しなさい >

| 先週、世界で最も豊富な国、ToyakoのWindsorのホテルのToya贅沢なリゾートそして鉱泉、日本で全体的な経済のコースを図表にするために会う8人グループのリーダー(G8)。 ブッシュ大統領および彼の同僚6コースの昼食上の世界の空腹を論議する間、ハイチの女性は彼女達の子供の夕食のために土のケーキを準備していた。

塩および野菜短縮と混合される土を食べることは(ハイチのステープル食糧)の費用が米ほぼ150%上がった1年の静かで空腹な子供に試みているハイチの母の最も最近の対処の作戦である。

皮肉にも、これらの女性の多数はかつて米の農夫自身だった。 しかし80年代で、米国-育てられた米はハイチに注ぎ始めた。 中央政府助成金のおかげではより少しのために、輸入された米それを育てるために要した何より販売された。 ハイチの農夫はちょうど競うことができなかった。

どちらも世界中で米国、ヨーロッパおよび日本からの米、トウモロコシおよびムギの流入によって破産した何百万の他の農夫できなかった。 これらの農夫は彼らの自身の食糧を育てることおよび全体的な市場で値を付けられる食糧を買わなければならないことに彼らの国に与えることから行った。 これらの商品市場が打ちつけたので、何百万のより多くの家族は食べることをできることができない。

ここに米国で、まだ世界で最も豊富な国、ますます家族は食糧をこのごろできるために努力している。 感謝して、私達は私達の子供にマッド・ケーキに与えさせる。 しかし最終的に、すべての働き家族および小さい農夫は、かどうかハイチかアイオワで、巨大な食糧株式会社のために設計されている農場の方針によって傷つく。

米国を考慮しなさい。 存続の縁にそう多くのハイチ家族を押した穀物の助成金。 それらはまた家族の農夫を家庭でここに傷つけた。 それは大部分のこの$307十億が最も大きい工場農場に行くのであり、彼ら自身を養うためにsmall-holderの農夫を残す。

私達が先月見たように、洪水が何百もの米国中西部の穀物のエーカーを一掃したときに、耕作は危険なビジネスである。 私達が助成金と保護するべきである財政のクッションの多くがないのは家族の農夫である。

同じはハイチおよび他の発展途上国のsmall-holderの農夫のために行く。 Most of these farmers are women, are mothers, who like most moms in the U.S., are responsible for putting dinner on the table every day. In developing countries, these mothers often grow their family’s food from scratch.

The small-holder, women farmers had no say in the decisions that the G8 leaders’ made about the global food crisis. Yet, it turns out that they have a lot to say when it comes to finding solutions to the crisis they are facing.

Just before the G8 meeting, a network of women’s groups from Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Colombia issued an open letter to the G8. Brought together by the international women’s human rights organization, MADRE, the women called on the G8 to support real solutions to the food crisis. They proposed concrete changes in the global economy, like international mechanisms to stabilize the cost of food and protect the livelihoods of farmers. They called for billion-dollar-a-day agricultural subsidies to be converted from support for big agribusiness to incentives for sustainable, small-scale and organic farms.

These are solid proposals backed up by research and years of first-hand experience in communities that are on the frontlines of today’s food crisis.

But instead of taking steps that could remedy the problem, the G8 plugged more of the same corporate-friendly trade and agriculture policies that brought on the food crisis in the first place.

G8 leaders called for more “open markets” in food trade. Openness sounds good, but in practice this means that poor countries can’t use tariffs to protect farmers from unfair competition.

The G8 also pushed for stricter patent laws. These rules take ownership of seeds ― the very basis of all agriculture ― away from small farmers and enable giant biotech companies like Monsanto to control our food supply.

The G8 did call for more aid to countries like Haiti that have been hard hit by the spike in food prices. That’s an important step when lives are at stake. But the money is to be administered through the International Monetary Fund, famous for making offers with strings attached. In this case, governments will be required to implement more of the kind of trade liberalization that hurts poor people and small farmers and has created record profits for big food corporations this year.

But as the women’s letter to the G8 clearly shows, it’s not corporate profits, but human rights –including the basic right to food ― that will underpin real solutions to the food crisis.

Susskind is the communications director of MADRE: Rights, Resources and Results for Women Worldwide.
