Sustainable food consumption in times of crisis
Beyond economics
This systematic review examines how large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in Kenya have contributed to the intensification of social inequalities (2008–2024). While existing scholarship emphasises economic benefits, it has paid limited attention to the nuanced social consequences of these investments. This review addresses that gap by synthesising evidence from 16 peer-reviewed articles and graduate theses, selected through a manual screening of …
Widening the gap? Evidence from Germany for changes in the attitude behaviour gap for transportation during Covid-19
Transportation is a main contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. For a sustainable transformation, consumers play a crucial role. While sustainability gains importance and is reflected in consumers' attitudes, consumers' behaviour does not always align with their sustainability attitudes - a discrepancy called the attitude behaviour gap. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted people's daily lives and transport choices, potentially alter…
The role of climate change awareness for trust in institutions in sub-Saharan Africa
Within the context of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa, trust in institutions is an important prerequisite to implement climate change adaptation and mitigation policies. There is a lack of systematic investigation of the relationship between climate change awareness, conflicts, and trust in institutions. We address this pressing research gap based on a regression analysis with trust in institutions as dependent variables, and climate change …

Determinants of foreign land acquisitions in low- and middle-income countries
This article analyses the determinants of growing demand for agricultural land in developing countries. We propose some determinants that are specific to foreign acquisitions of agricultural land as a subset of agricultural foreign direct investment (FDI) and empirically examine the corresponding locational choice. Using a gravity model and a data set on land acquisitions worldwide, we find that the determinants partly overlap with those for othe…
Labour Market Effects of Large-Scale Agricultural Investment
Large-scale agricultural investments (LSAIs) in general and their socio-economic implications in particular have been heavily debated in recent years. While some claim that LSAIs are an important catalyst for development in neglected rural areas, others caution that they pose a risk to rural communities' livelihoods. The extent to which LSAIs provide benefits for local communities is hence still contested. This paper sets out to conceptually unde…
Interplay of land governance and large-scale agricultural investment
This comparative analysis examines how large-scale agricultural land acquisitions are implemented in Ghana and Kenya, using embedded case studies of two specific investment projects. We find that insufficiencies in these countries' land governance systems are partly caused by discrepancies betweende jureand de facto procedures and that powerful actors tend to operate in the legal grey areas. These actors determine the implementation of projects t…
