Infographic of the land grab data from GRAIN

I was exploring the mapping application Indiemapper when my friend showed me this interesting data. GRAIN shares a data set containing 416 recent, large-scale land grabs by foreign investors for the production of food crops.

It was fun visualizing it. I worked with Indiemapper and Adobe Illustrator to produce this.

The maps show the percentage of the land grabbed, with respect to the total land area, from different countries.

To view and zoom into the details of the infographic, open the image in another tab/window, save it and view.

I will be posting lessons on mapping using IndieMapper soon.

Cheers.
