Rights of indigenous women and girls 2015, para. 23
Paragraph
Paragraph text
There is an emerging trend whereby indigenous peoples' lands are being grabbed by political and business actors who want to set up industrial food production farms or lands for production of biofuels, such as sugar cane and jatropha. Indigenous peoples' livelihoods such as rotational agriculture, pastoralism, hunting and gathering which have ensured food security for them are now increasingly being threatened. These have lead to the destruction of indigenous women's livelihoods that are land-based.
