Why Attend?

Farmland concentration and land grabbing threaten the livelihoods of small-scale farmers, disrupt rural communities, and undermine environmental sustainability. These challenges are exacerbated by new trends such as “green grabbing,” which often exploit the guise of sustainability for profit-driven motives. This webinar will bring together experts to discuss these dynamics and explore policy pathways for equitable land use and sustainable agricultural practices.
