  • Coffee is for closers!

  • I was expecting a lot of swearing here... It's just not the same!!!

  • The current problem is: many investors are most attracted to countries with weak land tenure laws & institutions because they offer an ease of entry. As alluded to in this mockumentary, where such laws and institutions are weak, investors can quickly and quietly negotiate w/ government officials in the capital or with village chiefs for thousands of acres, without having to worry or even consider the people who currently use or reside on the land. Thank you for raising awareness on this issue.

  • Investments in developing countries' farmland can benefit all parties -- if the necessary legal infrastructure is developed and enforced.

    But land rights that are unclear, weak, and poorly governed are not only a problem for the poor, they are a danger for most investors as well. The current global land rush can and should benefit all parties.
