Hungry for land: small farmers feed the world with less than a quarter of all farmland It is commonly heard today that small farmers produce most of the world's food. But how many of us realise that they are doing this with less than a quarter of the world's farmland, and that even this meagre share is shrinking fast? If small farmers continue to lose the very basis of their existence, the world will lose its capacity to feed itself. GRAIN took an in depth look at the data to see what is going on and the message is crystal clear.

Alcides Raméon Ramírez, a member of one of 200 peasant families fighting to defend their land in Curuguaty, Paraguay. Governments and international agencies frequently boast that small farmers control the largest share of the world's agricultural land. Rural people don't simply make a living off the land, after all. Then there is the other part of the picture: that concerning food. 1. 2.

SaludMedicinaI+D Semences : l'incroyable cadeau fait aux multinationales alimentaires La Commission Européenne a adopté le 6 mai une proposition de règlement sur les semences [1], qui est désormais entre les mains du Parlement et du Conseil Européens. La Coordination Européenne Via Campesina (ECVC) dénonce cet incroyable cadeau fait aux brevets et titres de propriété de l’industrie agro-alimentaire, l’agression violente que cette proposition représente contre les droits des agriculteurs et des jardiniers, et le contrôle bureaucratique qui s’y retrouve renforcé, et dont le seul résultat ne peut être que de définitivement tuer la biodiversité. Le résultat obtenu est donc l’inverse des raisons invoquées par la Commission pour réformer la législation existante, à savoir une nécessité de simplification administrative et de protection de la biodiversité. « Dans cette proposition, la Commission Européenne laisse la porte grande ouverte à la commercialisation sans restriction de plantes brevetées.

Nutrients For All | Vitality for People and the Planet CRBM | Campagna per la Riforma della Banca Mondiale Want to double world food production? Return the land to small farmers! The data show that the concentration of farmland in fewer and fewer hands is directly related to the increasing number of people going hungry every day. The United Nations declared 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming. As part of the celebrations, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) released its annual 'State of Food and Agriculture', which this year is dedicated to family farming. Family farmers, FAO say, manage 70-80% of the world's farmland and produce 80% of the world's food. But on the ground - whether in Kenya, Brazil, China or Spain - rural people are being marginalised and threatened, displaced, beaten and even killed by a variety of powerful actors who want their land. A recent comprehensive survey by GRAIN, examining data from around the world, finds that while small farmers feed the world, they are doing so with just 24% of the world's farmland - or 17% if you leave out China and India. Just what is a 'family farm' Small farmers are ever more squeezed in

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Agriculture : la réutilisation des semences sera sanctionnée Le Parlement a adopté, lundi 28 novembre, une proposition de loi UMP sur "les certificats d'obtention végétale". Il devrait simplifier l'utilisation de semences de variétés protégées. Une simplification contestée par certains syndicats professionnels, qui estiment qu'elle "bafoue" des pratiques agricoles ancestrales. Le texte du sénateur UMP Christian Demuynck a été adopté par le Sénat en première lecture le 8 juillet et transpose une convention internationale pour la protection des obtentions végétales de 1991. Voté dans les mêmes termes par l'Assemblée, lundi soir, le texte est donc adopté par le Parlement définitivement. Il conforte les spécificités du "certificat d'obtention végétale", un droit de propriété intellectuelle original créé par la France pour les semences afin d'éviter le recours aux brevets mis en place notamment aux Etats-Unis pour le vivant. Selon M. Germinal Peiro (PS) a parlé de "dîme" et exhorté en vain le ministre à modifier le point sur les semences de ferme.
