Food crisis & the global land grab

Governments and corporations are buying up farmland in other countries to grow their own food - or simply to make money

This site contains news reports about the global rush to buy up farmlands in Asia, Africa, Latin America and elsewhere as a strategy to secure food abroad, or simply for profit, under today's food and financial crises. Its purpose is to serve as a resource for those monitoring or researching the issue. It was set up by GRAIN, but anyone can join in posting materials. If you want to submit materials, help maintain the site, or have comments or suggestions, please contact landgrab@grain.org. Thanks.
