This guide has been developed in response to concerns regarding large-scale land acquisitions and the need to increase investment in agriculture. The guide supports application of the <a href="www.fao.org/3/a-i2801e.pdf"><i> Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure for Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security</i></a> at the national level by providing technical guidance on how to safeguard tenure rights in the context of agricultural investments, including in land.
