Video: Rethinking Foreign Direct Investments in Agriculture in South East Asia

This video, produced by the UNDP-UNEP Poverty-Environment Initiative (PEI), includes interviews with individuals from various NGOs, including FPP and Sawit Watch, during the Public Forum on Inclusive, Sustainable Foreign Direct Investments in Agriculture in South East Asia which took place in Bangkok in March 2013. 

It highlights some of the negative impacts of foreign direct investments in agriculture in Cameroon, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines (i.e. land grabbing, lack of FPIC of local communities etc) but also specifies ways to promote quality investments which protect the rights of local communities.
