    Adquisiciones de tierra agrícola fallidas

    Un creciente legado de desastre y dolor

    Reports & Research
    June, 2018
    Global

    El año 2017 terminó como uno de los más fatídicos para los defensores de la tierra. También fue un año muy malo para muchos acaparadores de tierras. Un número significativo de adquisiciones, de grandes extensiones de tierras agrícolas, colapsó, agregándose a una lista creciente de proyectos que han fracasado en años recientes. Si bien esto es una buena noticia para las comunidades afectadas, a muchas de ellas se les deja enfrentadas a esta caída y teniendo que seguir luchando por recuperar sus tierras.

    In May 2012, the Committee on World Food Security approved the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (the “Guidelines”). The Guidelines have been described as a catalysing instrument that improves the conditions of land and natural resources, in the agricultural, fishery and forestry sectors. They address problems related to poor governance of land tenure and the growing pressure exerted on natural resources, thereby helping countries to achieve food security for all.

    Food security and the functioning of wheat markets in Eurasia
    Peer-reviewed publication
    May, 2019
    Central Asia, Tajikistan

    We investigated wheat price relationships between the import-dependent countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus and the Black Sea wheat exporters to assess wheat market efficiency. This is crucial for ensuring availability and access to wheat and for reducing food insecurity. Results from linear and threshold error correction models suggested a strong influence of trade costs on market integration in Central Asia, while those costs were of minor importance in the South Caucasus.

    On 24 November 2020 the Land Inequality Initiative (International Land Coalition, OXFAM, Welthungerhilfe) launched its new research report "Uneven Ground: Land Inequality at the Heart of Unequal Societies", and a series of groundbreaking studies that reveal new insights and data proving that land inequality is rising.

    In the new study released today, researchers say that land inequality is rising in Africa and globally. Worse, the unfettered realisation of land inequality trends would create a social and economic disaster of massive proportions on the continent.
