English term

Large-Scale Land-Based Investments

English to French Other Business/Commerce (general)
I was wondering if you could help me with the following term.

CONTEXT: Agricultural investments can benefit local communities, but evidence suggests that the adverse impacts of Large-Scale Land- Based Investments (LSLBI) in Africa are disproportionately borne by women.

Would "Investissements terriens à grande échelle" work in this case?

This is a document for a major NGO. I wonder if there is an 'official' translation of the term or if I should come up with one. Thanks.

Non-PRO (2): GILLES MEUNIER, mchd

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
