African farmers fear large food production programme of Japan

Japan claims that it will bring its "success" in Brazil to Mozambique. However, local farmers are running campaigns to oppose this programme on the basis of the possibilities of losing their farmland. What is happening in Africa? We visited Brazil and Mozambique to find out.
