New internationalist May edition is out now.
The cover story is Land Grabs: big investors buying up land in Africa (and Asia, central and southern Americas), for large scale agribusiness. “Villagers were displaced after their chief gifted community farmland for a motorbike’, however there is a growing groundswell of people saying ‘we’d rather have our land’.
The Scratchy Lines cartoon for May is sort of ‘meanwhile, back in Europe’….
