Defending the Commons, Territories and the Right to Food and Water
Published By: Focus on Global South on eSS | Published Date: August , 2011Almost a billion people around
the world are now suffering from hunger and
malnutrition - a dramatic rise in number since the
soaring food prices over the last three years. Of
these, about half are estimated to live in smallholder
farming households, while roughly two-tenths are
landless, another tenth are pastoralists, fi sherfolk,
and forest users, and the remainder live in the
cities. This crisis of world hunger is set to deepen as
livelihood resources such as land and water continue
to be transferred from such groups to the financially
powerful in ever larger areas and longer timeframes.
