Land Rights and the Rush for Land - Findings of the Global Commercial Pressures on Land Research Project
This report, authored by leading land experts, is the culmination of a three-year research project that brought together forty members and partners of ILC to examine the characteristics, drivers and impacts and trends of rapidly increasing commercial pressures on land.
The report strongly urges models of investment that do not involve large-scale land acquisitions, but rather work together with local land users, respecting their land rights and the ability of small-scale farmers themselves to play a key role in investing to meet the food and resource demands of the future.

Las mujeres y el acceso a la tierra comunal en América Latina
El artículo se refiere a los derechos a la tierra por parte de las mujeres en los territorios comunales. Luego de hacer una reflexión regional sobre la estructura de la tenencia de tierra en América Latina, la autora realiza un análisis comparativo entre Bolivia y Guatemala. En ambos casos, analiza cómo han cambiado prácticas y normas legales y tradicionales, cómo dialogan entre sí, pero también cómo han impactado en los derechos de las mujeres en tierras comunales.
