Latin America Outreach Campaign: “Land Grabbing from the inside”
“Land Grabbing from the inside” -- Who is involved? What are the consequences? Why is it so difficult to fight?
Throughout the month of November, Land Matrix LAC, in collaboration with the ILC LAC, will be carrying out an exciting Outreach Campaign to explore the issue of land grabbing in Latin America and the Caribbean with the aim of highlighting this important issue and investigating ways to mitigate its impact on peasants, indigenous people, and people of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean.
