Land Tenure Challenges and Practices
WFO, Land Tenure Challenges and Practices, 2017
Land tenure represents one of the major challenges that farmers face, especially in developing countries. Many small-scale farmers, especially women, work on land that they do not own, exacerbating their poverty, lack of political power and equal recognition of basic rights.
This booklet contains a series of cases selected from WFO members of different countries around the world highlighting the land tenure situation at country level, as well as the main challenges that farmers face in relation to working on a piece of land that they do not own and identifying possible solutions to overcome land tenure challenges with better involvement of farmers in land tenure policies.
