Recently, I watched a PBS report about the poverty in Haiti. Children in many regions of Haiti are undernourished and often have nothing to eat other than cookies made from dried mud. The U.N. estimates that 840 million people on this planet are undernourished. Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people are fighting a decline in food resources.
What are the root causes of food insecurity? According to UNICEF the root causes are poverty, war and civil conflict, corruption, national policies that do not promote equal access to food for all, environmental degradation, barriers to trade, insufficient agricultural development, population growth, low levels of education, social and gender inequality, poor health status, cultural insensitivity, and natural disasters.
On June 15, 2009, the Human Rights Council held a panel discussion on the relationship between climate change and human rights. Panelist Atiq Rhaman stated that global climate change had emerged as the greatest threat facing humankind today. Kyung-wha Kang, Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, said that the human impact of climate change was not only related to environmental factors but also to poverty, discrimination and inequalities.
Obviously this is a global problem that is in immediate need of a global solution! What can we do as citizens and as sisters and brothers of this human race? We can email and call our elected leaders asking for a change in policies on agribusiness, pollution, and free trade. We can ask our senators and congressional representatives to hold hearings on agricultural practices that make sense for everyone (currently the farm bill causes many farmers to lose their farms while a few wealthy farm owners are paid to not produce food). We also desperately need to minimize our carbon footprints. This summer, buy a share of seasonal fruits and vegetables from a local farmer and ride your bike or walk whenever possible. How about buying sustainable fair trade products--benefitting you, the producer and the environment?
World Trade policies must be changed. Food should be distributed fairly and farming policies should promote sustainable growth practices. The U.N. policy on human rights states that everyone has the right to life, food, safe water and health, home, land, properties, livelihoods, employment and development. It is unjust that the people suffering from food insecurity are also those who are least responsible for the causes of global warming. The most vulnerable societies suffer terribly from climate change--frequent and prolonged floods, cyclone, tidal surges, salinity intrusion, sea level rise and drought.
Say 'no' to dirt cookies! Say 'yes' to fair trade policies, sustainable farming practices and environmentally-friendly resources!
