aoosterwyk's review against another edition
4.0
I had read about people buying up water rights, but was not aware of these giant land grabs. I am gob-smacked by how selfish and greedy so many people are. This book truly is a must read if you want to understand how the rich and powerful are manipulating food prices and availability and making deals that disenfranchise the powerless.
There is something so wrong when those in government can sell land in the public trust or communal lands to private interests and not be held accountable.
One thing of great importance that I learned from this book is that it is a very murky problem; corporations change names and land changes hands and a bulldozer doesn't replant trees, even when everyone knows they had no right to clear the land.

All useful ( only sort of repetitious , simply because the same thing is happening all over ) Hadn't heard the terms ' smallholder ' or ' outgrower ' before
