This is not an anticipated threat we will face in the future. Its consequences are being felt now and cannot be ignored.

Women have cultivated and nurtured life on our planet for centuries. Yet while the world enjoys the fruits of their labor, they often have no say or control over the land they work. To add insult to injury, the twin threats of drought and desertification – intensified by climate change – have reduced the amount of usable land, jeopardizing livelihoods as well as food production.
