As stated by Oxfam:

“From Uganda to Honduras and Peru to South Sudan, irresponsible investors are acquiring land that’s classed as ‘unused’ or ‘underdeveloped’, but which is actually being used by small-scale farmers to grow food or support their community in some way. Farming communities are often violently evicted and left without the land they relied on for their livelihoods.”
