Land Grabs 'are causing poverty'.
Rich Investors have bought more than an 100 million hectacres in 'Land Grabs' in poor nations over the past decade which could be contributing to hunger and poverty, an Aid Agency has warned. Foreign buyers acquired an area of land the size of London every six days in developing Countries between 2000 - 2010. Two thirds of Investors planned to export everything they grew and have evicted poor people from their homes to possess such land. According to Oxfam.
