Cumbre del G8 en Deauville, Francia
Los líderes del G8 prometieron reducir la pobreza a la mitad para el 2015 y priorizar las necesidades de la gente con menos recursos. Faltan solo 4 años para la fecha y aún están lejos de cumplirse. Oxfam pide al G8 que se ponga las pilas e invierta ya en la reducción del hambre, la salud y la educación y la adopción de medidas para impedir que las empresas ricas no paguen impuestos en los países pobres.

G8 Attempts to Fix Broken Promises with Private Sector Partnership
“This new alliance – is a nice complement at best, a deflection at worst. The role of the private sector is important, but they will not be able to make up for the G8’s broken promises,” said Ndiaye. “Smallholder farmers need the freedom to pursue their own growing strategies, not take overly-prescriptive tips on farming from G8 leaders, or one size fits all technologies from far away CEOs.”

#DearG8, we want our children to continue growing these gardens.
Soon there will be nine billion of us on the planet.Our societies must grow to meet our needs, so we can put enough food on the table for everyone.
Already, almost a billion of us go to bed hungry every night. Not because there isn't enough. But because of the deep injustice in the way the system works. And because too many of the ways we grow today are using up and destroying the natural resources on which we all rely.
Join Oxfam's GROW Campaignto ensure that everyone on the planet will always have enough to eat.
This week at the G8 Summit, we're asking world leaders to join smallholder farmers and developing countries to fight hunger by delivering on their previous pledges and recommitting for the future.
