Land seven and a half times the size of New Zealand was sold off globally in the last decade, enough to grow food for a billion people says international development agency Oxfam.
In its new report, "Our Land, Our Lives", Oxfam warns that more than 60 per cent of investments in agricultural land by foreign investors between 2000 and 2010 were in developing countries with serious hunger problems.
However, two thirds of those investors plan to export everything they produce on the land.
