Massive land trade: the new monopoly

Meer over het boek

The book explores the controversial trade of agricultural land, juxtaposing the views of NGOs, who label it a land grab, against those of international organizations like the World Bank, which advocate for its potential as a development opportunity. It critically examines whether this commercialization truly benefits local populations or leads to visible progress. By investigating the link between land trade and development outcomes after a decade of this phenomenon, the research aims to assess the actual impact on the regions involved.
