Foreign agricultural investments and human development in Africa

Abstract

In a time where feeding the world has become an urgent problem, highly populated countries 'delocalize' their food production in order to feed their populations. Africa is one of the most attractive targets, a phenomenon enhanced by the fact that African countries are thirsty for foreign investments representing considerable incomes. Paradoxical, one may think, as the African continent is among the geographical areas which suffer from low development and crisis-rated hunger issues.
