| Title | The Negative Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on People's Right to Food: Ethiopia's Horticulture/Floriculture Industry |
| Summary | Ethiopia, a country with a large amount of untapped land, abundant natural resources and cheap labor coupled with other regulatory incentives, has succeeded in attracting foreign capital investment, particularly, in the agricultural sector. In recent years, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the horticulture/floriculture industry has been reported to have caused problems of soil and water pollution thereby threatening Ethiopian’s right to food. This paper explores the legal framework of Ethiopia designed to regulate agricultural investment and its potential adverse impacts on the environment. It identifies legislative and implementation gaps that need reforms to bring better economic and social development to the people. Finally, it gives suggestions on how to address the issue with the coordinated efforts of the government, investors and other stakeholders. |
