Land grabbing is a neo-land exploitation, which has been started by local-transnational elites, governments and multinational companies to control the most valuable resource in the world after the increase in global food prices through 2007-2008. Purpose of this study is to address land grabbing of local-transnational elites, governments and multinational companies in underdeveloped-developing countries within the scope of space-human interaction. According to the report in 2011 of ILC, 203 million hectares of land came under control of international capital through purchasing, or long-term leasing between 2000-2010. Today, prominent investor countries for land grabbing are USA, Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom, UAE, China, India, Brazil, Canada and Netherlands, respectively. Target countries from which above these (investor) countries buy-lease for long-term lands are the Papua New Guinea, Russian Federation, Indonesia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Brazil, South Sudan, Mozambique, Ukraine, Congo and Guyana, respectively. Humanity is faced to a global land pillage, and facing the increasing population with a wilder food crisis is not so far. Global collaboration should be developed to prevent land grabbings, and the needed subvention should be made for local resources to be used properly to their potential.
