This book examines environmental sustainability and inclusive
economic growth, providing in-depth analysis of foreign direct
investment (FDI) in large-scale agriculture in Ethiopia. In most
African states, arable land and other natural resources play a
pivotal role for economic growth and development. Ethiopia is one
of those countries where agriculture is the backbone of the
economy. This sector has also been an attraction for FDI in
Sub-Saharan Africa since the global food and financial crisis of
2007 and 2008. This book uses six foreign investments in
large-scale agriculture as case studies to examine current
Ethiopian policies, the patterns of investment they promote, how
these impact on land-based resources and communities' wellbeing.
Presenting analyses of the economic, social and political realities
of foreign direct investment in the local context, Foreign Direct
Investment in Large-Scale Agriculture in Africa discusses how the
fundamental principles of pro-poor and environmentally sustainable
investments intersect with the government's ambition to advance
Ethiopia's development agenda. This book will be of interest to
scholars and students of African economics and sustainable
development, African policy makers, intergovernmental organisations
as well as multilateral and bilateral development partners.
