Présentation
Everything connects : food and oil prices, flatlining yields, climate change, gender inequality, land grabs... These issues combine to create a system that’s dominated by a few powerful companies and governments. We need a new way of thinking, and ideas that hold a promise of a better future for the many not just the few. Failed crops - often caused by our changing climate - hit food prices hard. Short-sighted biofuels strategies play a part too - taking food off people’s plates and putting it into car tanks. Dysfunctionalcommodities markets mean that food prices go up faster and higher than they should. The effects on poor people are painfully simple. Parents choose between feeding their children and feeding themselves. Oxfam GROW addresses these theme through a regional campaignwith a group of partner civil society organization in West Africa.
