本文分两部分。本文的第一部分探讨了当代的土地掠夺，并展示了它们如何反映和构成了一个新的土地和土地资源的新自由主义治理结构。从这个意义上说，土地掠夺值得注意的是它们创造世界的能力：这些交易构建了全球粮食经济中的新权力关系，并使之成为可能。正是由于这个原因，至关重要的是要了解土地掠夺如何影响土地变化的速度和方向。本文的第二部分探讨了话语战略，使“粮食安全”的关注与土地掠夺的做法。在这里，我认为“粮食安全”为土地掠夺提供了道德制裁。通过围绕“养活未来”的愿望唤起公众同情，粮食安全话语-借用Fassin（2012）的一个想法-将支配关系（对不稳定生活的治理）转化为援助关系（提供补救）。
This paper has a two-part structure. The first part of the paper explores contemporary land grabs and shows how they both reflect and constitute a new neoliberal governance structure over land and land-based resources. In this sense, what is noteworthy about land grabs is their world-making capacity: the deals structure and make possible new relations of power in the global food economy. For this very reason, it is crucial to understand how land grabs affect both the pace and direction of agrarian change. The second part of the paper examines the discursive strategies that align ‘food security’ concerns with land-grabbing practices. Here I suggest that ‘food security’ supplies a moral sanction for land grabs. By mustering public empathy around a desire to ‘feed the future’, food security discourse – to borrow an idea from Fassin (2012) – converts a relationship of dominance (the governance of precarious lives) into a relationship of assistance (the provision of a remedy).
