Hi, I have recently made substantial edits and changes to the land grabbing page on 22 Aug. 2011. While I am new to Wikipedia (editing), I attempted to use wikilinks and citations accurately and effectively to reflect the content. If you have any feedback and/or comments, please respond below.

Neutrality

This article seems to have serious neutrality problems. As far as I can tell, any purchase of - or investment in - land is framed as a "land grab". This makes it an absurd polemic. Even the title is wildly non-neutral considering the rather prosaic matter of investment in land as food prices go up... bobrayner (talk) 12:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to reframe some of the terms more neutrally but the article is still heavily reliant on a small cherrypicked subset of sources. If somebody just googled for "land grab", that's understandable, but there are lots more sources out there which cover agricultural investment in more neutral terms... bobrayner (talk) 13:09, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
