So the tapestry isn't just a question of trying to make a certain number of em­ broideries. It's all these other things. I very often say that it's all these other things that are more important than the embroidery. But you can't divide them.

ACCESS TO FOOD through food banks and cooperatives in California and Appalachia makes it 2 possible for low-income people to have more to eat as well as quality food. Garden projects provide additional food and/or increased income to families in Guinea­ Bissau, Mali, Somalia, and on Native American reser­ vations in South Dakota. Rice seed has been provided in Southeast Asia during times of drought.

PROTECTION OF LAND AND WATER RIGHTS is enabling small land holders to remain self-sufficient 3 in Kentucky, New Mexico and Brazil.

Small-scale programs offer seeds, tools and access to water with an emphasis on appropriate technology. Many pro­ vide particular assistance to women-the producers of much of the world's food.
