- W1526922068 abstract "In the past five years, interest in purchasing and leasing agricultural in developing countries has skyrocketed. This trend, which was facilitated by the 2008 food crisis, is led by state and private investors, both domestic and foreign. Investors are responding to a variety of global forces: Some are securing their own food supply, while others are capitalizing on as an increasingly promising source of financial returns. Proponents argue that these investments can support economic development in host states while boosting global food production. But critics charge that these land grabs disregard users’ rights and further marginalize already vulnerable groups: small-scale farmers, pastoralists, and indigenous peoples who are being displaced from their and from resources essential to their survival. Amid mounting global protests, two dominant frameworks have emerged to assess and contest the global rush for agricultural land. This Article critically examines both approaches.Part I provides an overview of the drivers and impacts of large-scale transfers and the problematic transactions involved. Part II sets out the contours of what I term the market-plus approach and the rights-based approach — the frameworks assumed respectively by proponents and opponents of these deals. Part III analyzes key conceptual differences in each framework’s approach to rights and risks and to distribution. I argue that the market-plus approach tolerates and facilitates rights violations, whereas the rights-based approach sets a normative baseline that repudiates these impacts and addresses key distributive concerns. Part III assesses the potential of each approach to effectively regulate deals in practice. I find that both approaches emphasize procedural safeguards to protect users’ rights and argue that these safeguards are ineffective at contesting the power dynamics at play in transactions. Part IV proposes concrete reforms to help empower communities most affected by deals and argues that international actors must be more involved in securing rights protections." @default.
