| 13. Project background: Why is the project taking place? Why is the need form the project? | Across the North and the South, small-scale food producers, their families and communities see their access to and control over land, water, seeds and other natural resources threatened, limited and destroyed. This is done in many ways and often in the name of "development", "food security", "environmental protection", or the production of "clean energy". Those that speak out against these processes are often discredited and marginalised or at worst, intimidated, criminalised and punished. |

(If you project is less than 1 year old feel free to ignore this question) | A key lobbying point and success of the campaign has been the achievement to have an special investigation (in the form of an own-initiative report) within the European Parliament on land grabbing/access to land in Europe. This was a direct follow up to an official EP report that was written in the context of the campaign on extend of farmland grabbing in the EU. Following on from this report, which was launched and defended at the EP COMAGRI, various advocacy meetings were set up with MEPs from different political groups and EU countries and a lobby note was circulated.. This eventually culminated in the decision by the COMAGRI in February 2016 to go ahead with the own-initiative report this year. |
