Call for articles: Empowerment and social inclusion

With this theme we would like to look at examples of how the most disadvantaged in society have been included, or have managed to include themselves, in agricultural development – for example the landless, differently abled, geographically dispersed or internally displaced people. Please send us your stories!
Deadline for submissions: 1 June 2008 Read more.

By presenting some of the current debates around this topic, we hope to provoke further discussion. Read the articles.
