Powerful international corporations and foreign investors often buy land off of countries in Africa and South America to repurpose and use as farmland for cash crops, factories, or biofuel production. These sales are made possible by the chief executives of these countries who are all too willing to give up chunks of land for sums of money offered by these rich corporations and investors. However, with these deals come some major issues. On top of the replacement of small subsistence farmlands by large-scale cash crop farms or businesses, the rights of locals in the areas being bought and sold are often neglected and these people face injustices and mistreatment by these deals and corporations.

Renting the land is the most ideal although it does come with many consequences. This paper will analyze the short-term consequences that farmers endure for renting their farmland for a short period of time. By discussing the reasons why farmers result in renting farmland, the contract, and the rights that
