• Over the heads of local people: consultation, consent, and recompense in large-scale land deals for biofuels projects in Africa (2010, background): “In Mali, for example, all recorded land deals are concentrated in the country’s highest potential agricultural zones (Cotula and Vermeulen 2009).”
• Land grabbing in Southern Africa: the many faces of the investor rush (2011, background): “The deals typically involve the leasing or other concessions (rather than sale) of large areas of land usually for production for foreign markets, by foreign companies and governments concerned with hedging against the risks of food price increases on global markets (Cotula and Vermeulen 2009a).”
