They're buying the world.

They're buying the world.

All wars in history were motivated by the conquest of land for access
to resources, but with the'' green revolution'' was thought that with
the technology applied to agricultural land would be no problem, as
they would achieve greater productivity in little spaces.

Now, it's clear that the central problem of the new century will be
the food consuming. Food will double by 2050 just to meet global
demand, and as Ramonet has shown, Soros has bought plots in Argentina
just to produce biofuels, a Swedish group acquired half a million
hectares in Russia, the Russian fund (Renaissance Capital) and the
British (Landkom), they have purchased 300.000 and 100.00 hectares in
Ukraine, while Morgan Stanley and agribusiness group (Louis Dreyfus)
bought thousands of acres in Brazil. (http://www.eldiplo.info).
Benetton have 900,000 hectares, American millionaire Douglas Tompkins
purchased 200,000 acres located in the vicinity of large water
reserves, and Daewoo Logistics took for rent 1.3 million hectares in
Madagascar.
Saudi Group (Binladin) has managed land to grow rice in Indonesia, Abu
Dhabi investors bought tens of thousands of hectares in Pakistan,
Jordan will produce edible in Sudan and Egypt obtained 850,000
hectares in Uganda to grow wheat and corn.
Besides private companies, governments in countries lacking sufficient
arable land, have taken to buy lands, even in distant territories:
South Korea has acquired 2'306 .000 hectares, China bought 2.09
million, Saudi Arabia 1 '61 million, UAE bought 1.28 million acres and
Japan bought 324,000 hectares. All this adds 8 million of purchased or
rented hectares of fertile lands, posing a problem of sovereignty in
countries sellers. (www.grain.org/m/?id=213, quoted by Ramonet).

China
A special case is that of oil-rich countries with dryland, which have
joined the land purchase strategy abroad.
UAE controls 900,000 hectares in Pakistan and have prospects for
agricultural projects in Kazakhstan, and Libya acquired 250,000
hectares in Ukraine in exchange for gas and oil. (Le Nouvel

Observateur, Paris 12-23-08).
China, with 1.4 billion population has only 7% of the fertile lands of
the world, because they destroyed 8 million hectares in the process of
industrialization and urbanization. They have land in Australia,
Kazakhstan, Laos, Mexico, Brazil, Suriname, and especially in Africa,
and have signed 30 cooperation agreements with governments that give
access to land. (China Daily, Beijing, 09/05/08).
And what about the South Korean abroad lands? They have more fertile
land in others countries than their own.
Now In the reconfiguration of the sovereignty of the countries will
appear the consequences of that!
