Five panelists explored the current state of land concentration in Europe, identifying the serious barriers to access to land which are preventing young and small farmers from accessing land, or retaining access to their land. There was consensus amongst most panelists on the importance of preserving small-scale farming in Europe for social, environmental, and economic reasons which many elaborated. Panelists proposed theoretical frameworks for understanding the challenges of European land policy. In particular the correct definition of land grabbing was discussed by panelists and participants: does land acquisition need to be illegal in order to be considered land grabbing, or can the term be used to describe systemic effects where existing legal and economic regimes have the end result of concentrating control of land and removing this from local communities? Presenters and participants also identified the importance of distinguishing between land worked by owners and land bought for the purposes of speculation, and problematized the idea that foreign ownership of land was inherently problematic.
