Margaret’s storyFor many people living in the industrialized <strong>and</strong> urbanregions, “nature” is a place to visit. Food comes from shops,<strong>and</strong> water from the tap.

The livelihood opportunities of Margaret WanjiruMundia, a farmer in central Kenya, depend directly on thenatural environment surrounding her. But her needs are thesame as those of city dwellers. And all of these needs findtheir origin in what nature provides.
