This handbook will be the first to address inward investment in land and its impact on water resources in Africa, where land has attracted the attention of risk-taking investors because of the amount of under-utilised marginalized land, with associated water resources and rapidly growing domestic food markets. The successful implementation of investment strategies in African agriculture could determine the future of more than one billion people at risk from climate change, population growth and food insecurity.
The book will also address the theme of livelihoods and provide a holistic analysis of land and water grabbing; it will also address other major themes: politics, economics, environment and the history of land investments in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Contributors will review the pro and anti-investment arguments, geopolitics, the role of capitalist investors, the environmental contexts and the political implications of, and reasons for, leasing millions of hectares in Sub-Saharan Africa. To date, there has been no attempt to review land investments through a suite of different lenses, thus this handbook will differ significantly from existing research and publication.
