Land grabbing refers to the large-scale acquisition of land by individuals, companies, or governments, often without the consent of local communities. This practice typically occurs in developing countries, where investors seek to secure land for agriculture, mining, or other commercial purposes. It can lead to displacement of local populations and loss of access to essential resources. The motivations behind land grabbing include the demand for food, biofuels, and natural resources. Multinational corporations and foreign governments often play significant roles in these transactions, which can result in conflicts over land rights and environmental degradation. Local communities may struggle to protect their land and livelihoods in the face of such pressures.
