Land Grabs “Land grabs displace subsistence farmers and farming communities, making it necessary for inhabitants to seek opportunities elsewhere. The amount of African land sold annually to multi- national corporations has increased from 10 million acres to about 110 million acres between 2008 and early the size of California and West Virginia combined. Over 70% of these land deals are concentrated in Mali, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Mozambique. The rise in land deals in Africa is partly due to the global food crisis.” (Sojourner Project)Sojourner Project
