The study has established that customary land in Zambia is enormously significant because land is central to human existence and a large proportion of Zambians depend on it for their livelihood.

Further, the study has found that the land can be made more productive without converting it to leasehold.

The way of life and the livelihood of many indigenous peoples are severely threatened by their land being sold off.
