The Land Matrix Initiative Key-features, limits and applicability of a comprehensive database Kerstin Nolte and Martin Ostermeier GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies

The Land Matrix Initiative …is a global and independent land monitoring initiative … has the aim to: Promote transparency and open data in decision-making over land and investment … was set up to respond to the lack of data on large-scale land acquisitions Ongoing process of decentralization – five Regional Focal Points – Project Support Unit (PSU) at University of Pretoria

Database characteristics of the Land Matrix Global Observatory Records intended, concluded or failed land acquisitions (land acquired by purchase, lease or concession) – In low and middle income countries – For agricultural production, forestry, carbon trading, industry, renewable energy production, conservation and tourism Land deals in the database … – Entail a transfer of rights to use, control or ownership of land through sale, lease or concession – Have been initiated since 2000 – Cover an area of 200 hectares or more – Imply the potential conversion of land from smallholder production, local community use or important ecosystem service provision to commercial use

Database sources Data collection methods of LM partners and Regional Focal Points Global and local networks Land Observatories Thematic Observatories Crowdsourcing Land Policy Initiative (Africa only)

Database sources Data collection methods of LM partners and Regional Focal Points Company sources (50.26%) Research / Policy Paper (47.85%) Personal information (14.38%) Media report (59.92%) Govern- ment sources (25.18%) Contract (5.56%) Crowd- sourcing (0.31%) Other (4.41%)

Database content (static) Spatial data (location, coordinates, etc.) Investor information (origin, type, etc.) Nature of the deal (intention, contract type, etc.) Pre-investment information (former land use, owner, etc.) Employment Community benefits …

Database content (dynamic) 1. Negotiation status Expression of interest Under negotiation Oral agreement Contract signed Negotiations failed Contract cancelled 2. Implementation status Project not started Start-up phase (no production) In operation (production) Project abandoned Intended Concluded Failed Intended size Size under contract Intended size

Data overview: Negotiation status  High area sizes under concluded deals  Aggregate global demand for land is very high indicating a large number of pending deals  Intentions/announcements still exceed actual contract size by far  Quite some failure at negotiation and concluded stage (contract cancelled) International large-scale land acquisitions according to negotiation status Number of cases Intended sizeSize under contract (in million ha) Concluded deals ,2 38,2 Intended deals ,0 n.a. Failed deals 84 7,6 1,9 No Information85 Note: Data as of Feb 14, 2015

Data overview: Implementation status  An important and growing number of deals starts operating (contracted area: 17.9 million ha)  Continued trend of project implementation: Deals are moving towards the production phase, it is not (only) land speculation  Little but fast growing area comes actually under production International land acquisitions according implementation status Number of concluded deals Size under contract Current size under production in millon ha Project not started 723.1n.a. Startup phase (no production) n.a. In operation (production) Project abandoned 331.4n.a. No information n.a. Total (deals or ha) 1, Note: Data as of Feb 14, 2015

Data challenges Dynamic Time-lag Reliability Contradicting information Potential biases due to… o Open data policies of some countries (e.g. Cambodia) o Interest of media and researchers in certain regions (e.g. Africa), on certain investors (e.g. emerging investor countries) and in certain sectors (e.g. agrofuels) o Extent of global / local networks
