Table S1. Land grabbing data reported by multiple sources.Data from the source (2) have been verified by the Land Matrix. The Land Matrix data include only deals (sales, concessions, or leases) that affect an area greater than 200 ha, led to a transfer of the right to use or own the land from local communities to foreign commercial production, and induced a change from extensive to intensive land use.
