Is the geography of food security in Sub-Saharan Africa changing? by Bloem, Jeffrey R., Kyle, Jordan

“…South Africa is a notable example where, since 2008, a larger number of people reporting food insecurity live in urban areas. This analysis highlights that the empirical findings motivating global policy narratives about the geography of food insecurity can critically hinge on data source choices and methodological analysis decisions, motivating more detailed analysis at the regional and national levels. …”

Building the politics machine: tools for "resolving" the global land grab by Dwyer, M.B.

“…This article argues that transnational land access cannot be resolved as a political question without a better understanding of the material, legal and administrative geographies that accompany and enable it. Using evidence from Laos, the paper illustrates two tools for ‘resolving’ the global land grab geographically: first, a biographical or trajectory‐based approach that connects specific land grabs to larger development landscapes (e.g. of urban infrastructuring); and second, genealogies of property formalization that interrogate and deconstruct the legal geographies of land access, both on and off the map. …”

Mixed land use and equity in water governance in peri-urban Bangkok by Sajor, E., Ongsakul, R.
