G8 к плохим женщинам: Препятствуйте им съесть Dirt

| Последняя неделя, руководители стран мира самых богатых, группы в составе 8 (G8), встрещенной для составления схемы курса международной экономики на роскошных курорте Toya гостиницы Windsor и Spa в Toyako, японии. Пока президент Кустик и его коллегаы обсудил голод мира над обедом 6-курса, женщины в Гаити подготовляли торты dirt для обеда их детей.

Еда dirt, смешанного с солью и vegetable шортингом, будет самой последней справляясь стратегией матей Haitian пытаясь к тихим голодным детям в годе когда цена риса (еды штапеля Гаити) поднимала почти 150 процентов.

Иронически, много из этих женщин были раз хуторянин сами риса. Но в 1980s, США -, котор выросли рис начал лить в Гаити. Спасибо федеральные субсидии, импортированный рис были проданы для чем он стоил для того чтобы вырасти оно. Хуторянин Haitian как раз не смогли состязаться.

Ни те смогли миллионы других хуторянин вокруг мира, которые bankrupted притоком риса, мозоли, и пшеницы от США, Europe и японии. Эти хуторянин шли от расти их собственная еда и подавать их страны к купить еду оценена на мировом рынке. Now that эти товарные рынки имеют спиковое, миллионы больше семей не могут позволять для еды.

Даже здесь в США, все еще страна мира самая богатая, больше и больше семьи борется для того чтобы позволять еду these days. Thankfully, мы не принуждаемся подать нашим детям торты mud. Но предельно, ушибают все работая семей и малые хуторянин, ли в Гаити или Айове, политиками фермы которые конструированы for the benefit of гигантские корпорации еды.

Рассматривайте США. субсидии зерна нажимали настолько много семей Haitian к brink выживания. Они также ушибали хуторянин семьи здесь дома. То потому что доля льва этот $307 миллиардов идет к самым большим аграрно-промышленным фермы, оставляющ хуторянин мал-держателя для того чтобы fend для себя.

По мере того как мы увидели последний месяц, когда потоки обтерли вне сотниы суммарная площадь посевов в Midwest, быть фермером будет рискованым делом. Это будет хуторянин семьи не имеют много из финансовохозяйственного валика мы должны защищать с субсидиями.

Это же идет для хуторянин мал-держателя в Гаити и других развивающаяся страна. 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.
