  18. Land Grabs “Land grabs displace subsistence farmers and farming communities, making it necessary for inhabitants to seek opportunities elsewhere.  The amount of African land sold annually to multi-national corporations has increased from 10 million acres to about 110 million acres between 2008 and early 2010- the size of California and West Virginia combined. Over 70% of these land deals are concentrated in Mali, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Mozambique. The rise in land deals in Africa is partly due to the global food crisis.” (Sojourner Project)
