Report brings together the multiple legal strands that weave together and form the context of farmland investments and water rights. Farmland investments are about much more than simple commercial land transactions; they have great impacts on the amount of water available for local communities and other states.

The water abstracted to maintain production of large-scale commercial farming further exacerbates these strains and must be given due consideration.
