Résumé : Large-scale land-based investments in Central Africa are not new, however, the years 2000s have seen a renewed interest in agriculture by foreign investors. This new rush for farm land involved multi-national holdings new in the region and sometimes in the sector. With a focus on five countries of the region hosting the majority of the Congo Basin natural forests: Cameroon, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Republic of Congo (Congo), Central African Republic (CAR), this paper looks at this recent wave of investments in farm lands, and discusses their specificities, the ways the host countries deal with investors, and the impacts on livelihoods and on forest cover that these large-scale projects might have. The analysis draws on scientific literature and media reports review, an assessment of large scale land acquisitions for agricultural expansion, logging, conservation, or mining projects, and field surveys conducted in 2012 and 2013 in Cameroon, Gabon and Republic of Congo where key stakeholders have been interviewed (representatives of the various ministries involved in large-scale land deals, managers from the private sector presently investing in land-based projects, NGOs, land and tenure experts, villagers nearby on-going land-based projects).
