The Land Matrix is a global and independent land monitoring initiative that promotes transparency and accountability in decisions over land investments. This website is an open tool for collecting and visualizing information about large-scale land acquisitions at the global, regional, and national levels. This online open-access platform is designed to facilitate wide participation. This includes participation in collecting and sharing information about these deals, contribute to the growing movement towards open development, and support greater public involvement in critical decisions that affect the lives of land-users.
