The consequence of the absence of policy and laws in the large-scale agricultural investment in Ethiopia

has been the displacement of large numbers of people from their lands and the destruction of their livelihoods. This displacement has put great strain on local resources, creating food insecurity, poverty, and unemployment. In addition, it has led to the loss of valuable land and its associated ecosystems. There has been a lack of transparency in the agreements between investors and local people, leading to the exploitation of local people with little or no compensation. This has resulted in economic and social inequality and the weakening of traditional structures and practices. The poor management of natural resources, due to the absence of policies and laws, has further contributed to environmental degradation and climate change. Finally, the lack of agricultural investment has undermined the country's economic growth, leaving many people below the poverty line.
