An in-depth analysis of context-specific conflict drivers is a necessary first step in working towards sustainable peace.

In many cases, this new momentum has translated into large-scale acquisitions of farmland in lower- and middle-income countries.

Less attention has been paid, however, to alternative ways of structuring agricultural investments that do not involve large-scale land acquisitions.
