The Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN) and Different Perspectives with Paul Ndiho invite you to “When the Land is Gone, So is the Food” a special-live-broadcast screening and conversation on one of the most urgent challenges facing rural communities across Africa: land grabbing and its impact on food security, livelihoods, and community stability on March 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM (EDT).
This documentary traces AFJN’s work in Ghana since 2014 to prevent unjust land acquisitions and promote responsible and transparent agricultural investment that respects the rights of local communities and smallholder farmers.
“When the Land is Gone, So is the Food” highlights the voices of farmers, community leaders, faith actors, and advocates working to ensure that land remains a source of life, dignity, and sustainable development rather than dispossession.
