Local communities, social movements and their allies have won some important victories recently to stop big land grabs around the world. Just last month people in Yala Swamp in Kenya, supported by ActionAid, won a court decision against Dominion Farms, a company from the United States, which has been grabbing their land since 2003.
The company had grabbed 6,900 hectares of land with the stated purpose of growing rice, but more recently generated new conflict by expanding into sugarcane production. However, in July, a Kenyan court issued an injunction ordering the company to restrict its operations to 3,700 hectares until a case filed by community members can be heard by the courts.
