In Senegal, concern about large-scale land acquisitions has been growing since 2000. Senegalese agriculture has long relied on small-scale family holdings and extensive agriculture. But the current population growth rate, combined with rapid urban development and natural resources degradation, have inevitably changed the game.

Mozambique currently has one of the highest rates of land concessions throughout Africa. In the coming years, if large-scale land concession grants to private investors are not carefully controlled, the amount of land still held and managed by rural Mozambicans will decrease significantly, with associated negative impacts on already impoverished rural communities.

Estas empresas têm comprado e ou arrendado terras para a produção de monocultivos agrícolas e agroenergia. Denominamos, neste artigo, como - estrangeirização de terras – considerando que cada vez mais, estas corporações ampliam seus controles territoriais ameaçando a soberania dos países.

Mozambique has a land governance system that allows for strong protection of community-based land rights, community consultation with respect to partnerships with investors, and also secure rights to land for investors. However, the implementation of legislation has been slow and the capacity among state actors is weak. Tensions exist between a government keen on promoting foreign investment and agro-industry and a rural population that is insufficiently aware of and not always able to exercise their legal rights.

This work presents initial results of research into the complex relationships between the development of the land grabbing and agribusiness expansion in Brazil and Mozambique and their effects on the peasantry in both countries. We will examine the relations between the governments of Brazil and Mozambique in order to understand Brazil’s relatively recent involvement in land grabbing in Mozambique. This will inform our discussion of the role of Brazil as a country affected by land grabbing, while simultaneously promoting such practices in Mozambique.

Um clima de agitação, ansiedade e incerteza, suscepơvel de levar a sérias tensões sociais, tem estado a crescer junto das comunidades do Distrito de Palma, nomeadamente da Vila-Sede e povoações circunvizinhas. Estratégias sinuosas e inconsistentes, de comunicação com as comunidades locais, entremeadas de indícios de atropelos à lei, por parte das autoridades governamentais a vários níveis, sobre o processo conducente à construção da Fábrica de Gás Natural Liquefeito, a ser explorado na Bacia do Rovuma, são a principal causa deste clima.
