La reglamentación inapropiada en la adquisición de tierras se ha convertido en un problema grave, sobre todo en África subsahariana y Asia sudoriental, donde amenaza la seguridad alimentaria, los medios de vida locales y la gestión sostenible de los recursos naturales y ha provocado conflictos por la tierra y abusos contra los derechos humanos. Los grupos sociales marginados están particularmente amenazados, especialmente los pueblos indígenas, otros propietarios consuetudinarios, las mujeres, los miembros de castas inferiores y las minorías étnicas.

L'acquisition de terres mal réglementée est devenue un problème majeur, notamment en Afrique subsaharienne et en Asie du Sud- Est, où cette question menace la sécurité alimentaire, les moyens d’existence locaux et la gestion durable des ressources naturelles, provoque des conflits fonciers et porte atteinte aux droits de l’homme. Les groupes sociaux marginalisés sont particulièrement menacés, notamment les peuples autochtones, d’autres propriétaires fonciers coutumiers, les femmes, les populations de caste inférieure et les minorité ethniques.

Los mandatarios de 147 Estados reafirmaron los principios de reducción de la pobreza, gobernanza democrática y protección de los derechos humanos, que han sido el núcleo del sistema de las Naciones Unidas desde su creación tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

In recent years, local people and rural communities have assumed increasing prominence in strategies for natural resource management.This paper briefly reviews some of the central legal issues that are associated with this shift. In doing so, its goals are limited. It does not ad dress fundamental questions about when, where and what kind of management works, nor attempt to identify the political, social, economic and environmental ingredient s for success – subjects on which there is a huge, if still inconclusive, literature.

Desde sus orígenes, el desarrollo de la agricultura ha estado estrechamente ligado al trabajo de la mujer. Su contribución a la agricultura se remonta a más de 6 000 años, cuando se inició la domesticación de animales y plantas en los primeros asentamientos humanos. Con el paso del tiempo, con la división del trabajo y de responsabilidades tanto en el seno de la unidad familiar como en la comunidad, se asignaron a las mujeres las tareas y responsabilidades vinculadas a las actividades agrícolas y nutricionales.
