"The world crises in finance, food, and climate, have triggered a rush by investors and governments to acquire agricultural land and natural resources......Although women are the main food producers in the world and the first responsible for well-being of their families and communities, existing patriarchal structures continue to deprive them of their rights to land and natural resources. As most women peasants and family farmers do not have perennial legitimately recognized access to land, they are particularly vulnerable to land grabbing, expulsions, and expropriations."
