Food Security And Agriculture Policy Questions
Land grabbing refers to the acquisition of large areas of land, often by foreign investors or governments, for commercial agricultural purposes. It involves the displacement of local communities and small-scale farmers from their traditional lands, often without their consent or fair compensation. Land grabbing can have negative impacts on food security and agriculture as it can lead to the loss of livelihoods, increased inequality, and environmental degradation. It is often driven by the desire for profit, as well as the increasing global demand for food, biofuels, and other agricultural commodities.
