| Title | Land Grabbing and Food Security of Host Countries in Sub-Saharan African Case |
| Summary | “Land grabbing” or cross-border long-term land leasing or purchasing for agricultural investment has become a new phenomenon in many countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The phenomenon is prospected to bring both developmental opportunities and threats to the host counties. One of the issues with which host countries should be concern is food security. This research paper studies the potential effects of land grabbing on food security of host countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The paper uses food security conceptual framework, which is drawn on different concepts of food security, as analytical framework. It finds out that land grabbing has both potential to enhance and undermine domestic food security of host countries. However, the actual effects are depending on how conditions under land grabbing negotiation are made. The potential effects that are discussed in this paper should be taken as a guideline to encompass food security issue in land grabbing negotiation and also in policy agenda setting to ensure host countries’ domestic food security as regards to land grabbing phenomenon. |
