Trente organisations demandent aux gouvernements responsables de la supervision des banques de développement de prendre des mesures pour réparer les préjudices causés aux communautés par leur investissement dans PHC/Feronia.
Thirty CSOs call on the governments responsible for overseeing the development banks to take action to redress the harms caused to the communities from their investment oil palm plantation company PHC/Feronia.
As community efforts to reclaim 100,000 ha of their ancestral land are met with violent repression, unlawful arrests, and murder, a new report exposes the financiers profiteering from the plantations in the DR Congo.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation along with a number of prominent US university endowments are among the top investors in a troubled set of oil palm plantations in the DRC, according to a report from the Oakland Institute.
With farms, ranches and rural communities facing unprecedented threats, a worrying trend leads to a critical question: Who owns the water?
Microsoft founder is reportedly looking for 741 acres of farmland to invest in within the borders of Muğla and Aydın, and is said to be in touch with businesspeople and companies in Turkey about the purchase.
After acquiring majority ownership in the PHC plantations from European development banks in 2020, former partners have turned on each other with legal action underway across four jurisdictions for control of the company, valued at US$100 million.
Gates does not appear to count his farming investments as the largest farmland owner in the US as part of his broader strategy to save the climate.
Quienes actualmente controlan los flujos financieros del mundo no son capaces de apoyar a los productores de alimentos y a los sistemas alimentarios —que pueden combatir la crisis climática o las muchas otras crisis que afectan a la alimentación y a la agricultura. Nuestro desafío es lograr que tanto las tierras agrícolas como el dinero no sigan en sus manos, tan pronto como podamos.
Carbon credits and net-zero pledges are fuelling a new round of farmland buying by billionaires and pension funds that will undermine real climate action.
El cofundador de Microsoft, empresario y filántropo, Bill Gates, ha acumulado la mayor cantidad de tierras agrícolas privadas en EEUU: alrededor de 98.000 hectáreas.
The relationship to land – who owns it, who works it and who cares for it – reflects obscene levels of inequality and legacies of colonialism and white supremacy in the United States, and also the world.
