The global race for land has been accentuated over the years, especially since the agri-food crisis of 2007/2008. The objective of this work is to identify the main reasons for the purchase and / or appropriation of land in Brazil by foreigners, highlighting the main world influences that provide this greater demand for land. The methodology used is an exploratory research, carried out based on a bibliographical research, in order to identify the main approaches that are being developed in the academic environment on the subject. Among the main results, it was identified that the increase in population and income, driven by increasing urbanization, especially in developing countries, has warmed the demand for food, and consequently land. In this sense, Brazil becomes a target country of foreign investments for the availability of natural resources and the rise of Brazilian agribusiness in food production. In addition, it is possible to conclude that besides the guarantee of food security of their countries, the world race for land also has other motivations, such as biofuels, forests, energy sources, investment funds for land valuation, among others. This set of interests has its own characteristics, some strongly political, perceptible in the way the Brazilian land structure was shaped and shaped.
