The land security agenda: how investor risks in farmland create opportunities for sustainability
This report by the Earth Security Initiative seeks to reframe the debate of ‘land-grabs’ in terms of solutions. It builds an argument for taking decisive action on ecological and human rights from a perspective of risk management, based on the prediction that resource pressures will continue to intensify globally. The solutions proposed seek to incentivize investors and political leaders to encourage investments that create long-term value, and deter those that deplete a country’s human and ecological capital.
