    Since 2009, Oxfam and others have been raising the alarm about a great global land rush. Millions of hectares of land have been acquired by investors to meet rising demand for food and biofuels, or for speculation. This often happens at the expense of those who need the land most and are best placed to protect it: farmers, pastoralists, forest-dependent people, fisherfolk, and indigenous peoples.

    Addressing the problem of hunger in a world where food production systems, particularly in developing countries, are being eroded and undermined by climate change is one of the most important challenges of our time. Studies by the Food and Agriculture organization (FAO), Oxfam and the Asian Development Bank, among others, underscore the significance of climate change impacts on agriculture and food production (FAO 2007, Oxfam 2009, ADB 2009).

    We preliminarily find that providing sustainable land management (SLM) training to standard contact farmers and having them maintain demonstration plots within the community on a whole had low impact on the knowledge and adoption of SLM practices. However, the aspect of our intervention that targeted a traditionally disadvantaged group as far as their access to extension services, women, was somewhat successful in terms of improving their SLM knowledge and adoption rates. Having a female contact farmer increased the number of SLM techniques adopted by women by 10 percent.

    Concluímos preliminarmente que oferecer treino em gestão sustentável das terras (GST) aos agricultores de contacto típi-cos e fazer com que mantenham lotes de demonstração na comunidade tinha, no geral, um impacto reduzido na aprendiza-gem e na adoção de práticas de GST. No entanto, a vertente da nossa intervenção que tinha como alvo as mulheres, um grupo tradicionalmente desfavorecido no que se refere ao acesso aos serviços de extensão, foi relativamente bem-sucedida em termos de melhoria dos seus conhecimentos, bem como da adoção de práticas de GST.
