Since small-scale farmers manage most of the cultivated land worldwide, the ongoing shift in systems of production associated with large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) may dramatically reshape the world's agrarian landscape, significantly impacting rural populations and their livelihoods. The societal, hydrological and environmental implications resulting from the expansion of large-scale agricultural production, through LSLAs, make their ultimate sustainability questionable. This study, through a literature review, analyses the negative impacts of LSLAs, their hydrological dimension and how they may affect the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The core literature on land and water grabbing is reviewed and systematized using the 17 SDGs as a framework, in order to highlight the relationship between LSLAs and the sustainable development agenda. The magnitude of the global land rush phenomenon and the criticism raised in scholarly research highlight the controversial role that transnational land acquisitions may be playing in the global development agenda.

由于小规模农民管理着世界上大部分的耕地，与大规模土地收购（LSLA）相关的生产体系​​的不断变化可能会极大地改变世界的农业格局，对农村人口及其生计产生重大影响。通过小规模生活协议扩大大规模农业生产所产生的社会，水文和环境影响，使它们的最终可持续性受到质疑。这项研究通过文献综述，分析了低水平LAS的负面影响，其水文规模以及它们如何影响可持续发展目标（SDG）。以17个可持续发展目标为框架，对有关土地和水源争夺的核心文献进行了审查和系统化，为了强调LSLA与可持续发展议程之间的关系。全球土地涌动现象的严重性和学术研究中提出的批评都凸显了跨国收购土地可能在全球发展议程中发挥的有争议作用。
