Time to catch up on some of the blogs that you missed! Below are listed the top 15 blogs by views this year. Lots of themes to explore – on land, agriculture, drought and much more.
The year started with a short series on financing agriculture, based on recent research across our study areas. This was followed by my normal review of recent publications on Zimbabwe, mostly by Zimbabwean scholars. A bit later in the year I reflected on land/green grabbing and redistribution debates based on two rather contrasting conferences I attended, along with a discussion of Zimbabwe’s controversial new carbon deals. More recently, I reviewed a couple of books on land, one a classic from 15 years ago, one more recent, and both well worth reading. There were also posts on the El Niño drought, and the role of the informal sector and investment dynamics, themes that appear often on this blog. And then in July there was a piece on the aftermath of the UK election.
This article is from Zimbabweland, a blog written by IDS Research Fellow Ian Scoones. Zimbabweland focuses on issues related to rural livelihoods and land reform in Zimbabwe.
