Land Accumulation

Land accumulation refers to the process where individuals, companies, or governments acquire large areas of land, often for agricultural, commercial, or investment purposes. This can lead to concentration of land ownership, affecting local communities, economies, and ecosystems. While it can promote efficiency in agriculture or development, it may also result in issues such as displacement of small farmers, loss of biodiversity, and increased inequality. Understanding land accumulation is essential in discussions about land rights, sustainable development, and the balance between economic growth and social responsibility.
