    Foreign acquisitions of farmland in Africa and elsewhere have become the focus of concern. Many observers consider them a new form of colonialism that threatens

    food security of the poor. However, investments could

    be good news if the objectives of land purchasers are

    countries.

    Land degradation is a serious problem that crosses national borders, ecological zones and

    socio-economic levels. It can be especially devastating for the world’s poorest people living

    in dryland areas. The Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA) project, executed

    by FAO with funding from UNEP, GEF and others, assesses the causes and impacts of

    land degradation at global, national and local levels in order to detect hot spots and identify

    African farmers to improve how they manage their land and water. Numerous projects throughout

    One out of every three people on earth is in some way affected by land degradation. Latest

    estimates indicate that nearly 2 billion ha of land worldwide – an area twice the size of China

    grassland, woodland and forest areas whose degradation reduces productivity, disrupts vital

    ecosystem functions, negatively affects biodiversity and water resources, and increases

    vulnerability to climate change.
