| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the latter half of the 2000s, external investors have acquired vast areas primarily in the African continent. Ethiopia is one of the main target areas. Some million hectares of land has already been transacted not only to foreign investors, but also to many domestic investors. I have conducted field research among agro-pastoral people in southwestern Ethiopia to analyze the impact of land transactions on the local livelihood system and social relations. In this area, seven farm agreements have been made with investors; of them, five are already in operation. The residents were not given proper explanations as to the transactions of the land. And because land registration has not begun in the villages area, no compensations have been paid. Very few local people were employed by the farms. In addition, I showed that the building of big dam in the upper Omo river has strongly influenced the local livelihood system.
