Water for Food Security, Nutrition and Social Justice

By: Lyla Mehta,Theib Oweis,Claudia Ringler,Barbara Schreiner,Shiney Varghese

This book is the first comprehensive effort to bring together Water, Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) in a way that goes beyond the traditional focus on irrigated agriculture. Apart from looking at the role of water and sanitation for human well-being, it proposes alternative and more locally appropriate ways to address complex water management and governance challenges from the local to global levels against a backdrop of growing uncertainties. The authors challenge mainstream supply-oriented and neo-Malthusian visions that argue for the need to increase the land area under irrigation in order to feed the world’s growing population. Instead, they argue for a reframing of the debate concerning production processes, waste, food consumption and dietary patterns whilst proposing alternative strategies to improve water and land productivity, putting the interests of marginalized and disenfranchized groups upfront. The book highlights how accessing water for FSN can be challenging for small-holders, vulnerable and marginalized women and men, and how water allocation systems and reform processes can negatively affect local people’s informal rights. The book argues for the need to improve policy coherence across water, land and food and is original in making a case for strengthening the relationship between the human rights to water and food, especially for marginalized women and men. It will be of great interest to practitioners, students and researchers working on water and food issues.

Three O'Clock @ Hyde Park

By: Barbara Theesfeld

When Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 Cuba supplied the U.S. with one third of its sugar. Castro quickly alienated President Dwight D. Eisenhower by illegally expropriating the property owned by U.S. citizens and corporations. The Cuban economy quickly began to collapse and thousands of Cuban citizens, stripped of their property rights and their personal dignity, began to seek refuge in America. One family had a plan to finance their new life in America with a nest egg derived from their illicit sales of cigarettes and liquor, which commanded a high price in Havana's burgeoning black market. Time begins to work against them when Eisenhower invokes an embargo on the import of Cuban sugar. Then, a new opportunity presented itself - a daring and bizarre robbery of the sugar refinery payroll in the Queens Plaza subway station. The perpetrators made their escape leaving their naked victim bound and gagged in the station men's room. The author of this historically accurate novel provides us with a new twist in a fast paced, penetrating, and humorous reconstruction of this unsolved and widely reported crime, the times, and the characters involved in the gritty Queens neighborhoods where it all took place.
