Good evening
Sama Reader, welcome to the Sama Gazette!
The website was last updated on January 27, 2012. Please enjoy your visit and come back often for updates!
In our agricultural policy, we fail to consider issues like nutrition and food security, climate change, and the significant but often unrecognized fact that 70% of the world’s farmers are women. Women produce 90% of the staple food crops, such as rice and maize—the crops that feed the world.
