The article details features and implications of the global land rush, with \nparticular focus on Africa. Data and analyses of the ‘Land Matrix’ project help to \nprovide an overview of these land-based investments, while locally implemented \ncase studies in the framework of the ‘Commercial Pressures on Land’ project \nfacilitate the assessment of implications related (or not) to the question of Africa’s \ngreen revolution. By emphasising the need to go beyond the land acquisition \nphenomenon and its direct consequences, it re-contextualises the rush for land \nand relates it to broader dynamics of agrarian transformation in Africa.While the \npresent rush for land may represent a revitalisation of Africa’s agricultural sector, \nit is doubtful that this revolution benefits the continent overall
