Like preditors the International Investors are buying African lands for farming, while throwing the local farmers out, leaving them landless and homeless.

THIS IS VERY SAD, IT'S NOT LIKE OUR AFRICAN COUNTERPART HAS A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS.
What a Bunch of Money Hungry Greedy Crooks... Pathetic

Thanks Tinkie

How much of the U.S. farm land is corporate owned?

This is a classical case of the rich robbing the vunerable poor... with little or no education whereas they do not know which is best for them... in South Africa we have started to do it right.. and perhaps the rest of Africa needs to follow in the same footsteps... and les their voices become more powerful...
