Let me address another challenge that the Continent faces: offshore farming. This is the growing phenomenon of international farm investment, in which countries short of productive agricultural land, but rich in capital and agricultural technology, are acquiring farmland overseas for large-scale agriculture.
Nowadays, there is almost no economic phenomenon that is not influenced – at least to a certain extent – by what we call “globalisation”. “Globalisation” seems to be everywhere – a search on Google yields more than 25 million hits. Evidently, the process of globalisation has many different historical, political, social, and economic facets.
