Global Change Nepal Spring 2011

A hungerfree world!

This is the slogan of the current Global Change campaign taking place in Nepal right now. In spring we will continue with the aim to make the right to food part of the constitution of Nepal.

More than 85 % of the population in Nepal is dependent on agriculture which means their food security is tied to farming land. Poor landless and tenants have no livelihood option other than to till the land of their landlords. They have done so for generations without having tenancy rights or the chance to own or control the land they are dependent on. Lack of food security is a manifestation of poverty created through the structural and systemic denial of access to and control over productive resources and other economic opportunities.
