Cette vidéo de 2 minutes sur le thème de la Journée mondiale de l’alimentation 2014 met l’accent sur le rôle essentiel des agriculteurs familiaux en matière de production alimentaire et de conservation des ressources naturelles.

Le monde ne peut pas éliminer la faim sans combler le fossé entre les hommes et les femmes dans l'agriculture. Avec un accès égal à celui des hommes aux ressources et services tel que la terre, l'eau et le crédit, les femmes agricultrices pourraient augmenter leur production de 20 à 30 pour cent, ce qui permettrait à 150 millions de personnes d'échapper à la faim.

Highlighting case studies in "climate-smart agriculture" from around the globe, a new FAO publication shows that many rural communities are already successfully making the transition to new forms of farming better suited to the rigors of a warmer world. FAO's Leslie Lipper has more details.

The FAO Dimitra community listeners’ clubs are groups of women, men and young people – mixed or not – who decide to organize themselves so as to work together to bring about changes in their communities. They meet regularly to discuss the challenges they face in their daily lives, make decisions and take action to resolve their problems.

Set up in several sub-Saharan African countries - DR Congo, Niger, Mauritania, Senegal, Burundi and Ghana - the Dimitra listeners’ clubs have had great success wherever they have been established.

This video shows the activities of the clubs in Gasseda.
