Indeed, finance has been identified as one of the main causes of the so-called "global land rush". Agriculture and land represent safe investment opportunities and in a world with a growing population that needs to be fed, the returns are a safe bet. The debate that this has caused in the media is frequently alarmist and financiers are blamed for rising land prices and intensification of land commodification across the globe.0Stefan Ouma seeks to debunk the misconceptions and assumptions about "finance-gone- farming" with a penetrating analysis of case studies taken from both the developed and developing world, revealing the role of global finance in the agricultural sectors of these very different settings. The book provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the agri- focused asset management industry. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Farms|xValuation.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85047306 650 0 Land use, Rural|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85074350|xEconomic aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005484 650 0 Agricultural industries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85002331|xFinance.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002007885 650 7 Farms|xValuation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 921471 650 7 Land use, Rural|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/991595 650 7 Land use, Rural.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 991587 650 7 Agricultural industries|xFinance.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/800865 650 7 Agricultural industries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/800842 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781788211871 830 0 Economic transformations (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018163694 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2708044|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
