full_text_status: public
abstract: Sub-Saharan African countries play the leading role in the total amount of land that is leased or sold to foreign investors. For the most part is unclear how and why Dutch companies and investors are involved in the rush for land in Sub-Saharan Africa. By using both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods an attempt was made to address this issue by answering the following main research question: How and why are Dutch companies and investors involved in land deals in Sub-Saharan African countries and what are, or can be the effects of these land deals for the communities within these countries? It was found that the Netherlands is mostly indirectly involved in Sub-Saharan African land deals. The illustrative cases used in this research showed that the Netherlands is involved in land grabbing practices in Sub-Saharan Africa or at least has been in the recent past.
