(Mis)Investment in Agriculture- The role of international finance cooperation in global land grabs

Mis)Investment in Agriculture concludes that the promotion of investor access into developing country land markets threatens local food security, displaces local populations, and therefore operates in direct violation of IFC’s Performance Standards as well as several UN Human Rights Conventions. The Report contends that it is crucial that IFC be investigated and held accountable for the land grabs promoted by its technical assistance and advisory services. World Bank’s current practices that promote land grabs must be stopped in order to protect the food security and livelihoods of the world’s most vulnerable populations.
