Abstract
The decision of the government of Pakistan to lease out some 1.2 million acres of its fertile land to foreign investors has raised a number of questions given the state of food insecurity at home. This is an important problem which the corporate-mind and policymakers have always chosen to ignore so far. The policy of corporate farming is involved in food production on a very large scale that would snatch a very basic source of earning from thousands of poor peasants who are already living in a situation of food insecurity. This marginalized class on the threshold of food scarcity is disinclined toward education and healthcare, which is considered as a luxury for them, this adversely impacting their economic situation and leads to yet more hunger.
