Includes index
Over the past few years, large-scale land acquisitions in Africa have stoked controversy, making headlines in media reports across the world. Land that only a short time ago seemed of little outside interest is now being sought by international investors to the tune of hundreds of thousands of hectares. Private sector expectations of higher world food and commodity price, and government concerns about longer-term national food and energy security, have both made land a more attractive asset.
