Oxfam releases spoof video highlighting land grabs in poor nations

The short film comes weeks before the international agency launches, as part of their GROW campaign, a major new report on land deals and the impact they are having on poor people around the world.  A new demand for land has seen swathes being sold, leased or licensed over the past decade in a drive to produce enough food for people miles away, meet botched biofuels targets and speculate on land to make an easy profit. Many of the deals are in fact land grabs in which those who live or make a living from that land are not consulted, treated fairly or properly compensated.
