Livelihoods: Enabling Environments for Strengthening Food Security in Ethiopia and Ghana\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For governments struggling with high levels of food insecurity\u2014the lack of reliable access to safe, sufficient and healthy food\u2014and other serious challenges, such as high unemployment, high inflation and a low GDP, foreign investment can seem a panacea, and in the last decade, millions of hectares of land in the global south have been sold or leased to foreign investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community-based organizations and NGOs have a different take on that solution, reporting smallholders and herders losing their livelihoods amid increasing inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a macro\u2013micro divergence between two narratives,\u201d says Logan Cochrane, Assistant Professor in Global and International Studies at the Arthur Kroeger College of Public Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a $67,330 grant, he and a fellow researcher at the University of Northern British Columbia will compare cases of failed, contested and successful foreign investments in Ethiopia and Ghana to identify laws, policies and regulations enabling investment that benefits everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complex issue requires an interdisciplinary approach, including law, business, anthropology and political science, among others: \u201cTo produce useful recommendations for decision-makers, we need to take into account everything that they need to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Cochrane points out, with Canadian pension funds among the international investors, it\u2019s not a distant problem. \u201cWe are all connected to this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full story <a
