Another Take: Ukraine’s other land grab

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on April 7th, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Ukraine might not look like a good financial investment after a year at war with no end in sight, but Harvard, Saudi Arabia, a handful of oligarchs, and Vanguard Group see it differently. They are just a few of the investors who have been buying up Ukrainian land – and its rich, fertile soil – en masse, while many Ukrainian farmers argue it should stay in Ukrainian hands.

In this episode:

  • Frederic Mousseau, Policy Director, Oakland Institute
  • Anuradha Mittal (@Mittaloak), Founder, Oakland Institute
  • Lorina Fedorova, an expert on sustainable agriculture, Ekodiya
  • Roman Gryshyna, CEO of Travelite MICE&Travel Ukraine
