    Kenya

    In Kenya and the sub-Saharan Africa generally, there have been little systematic discussions
    on the post-colonial struggles over control and ownership of land. Studies ignore that the "land
    question" is not about production alone and consequently have failed to assess its wider
    consequences on the society. This raises the question, "what is the current socio-political
    dimension to the land question and what is the consequence of their interplay with other
    changes underway in the country?"

    Kenya

    In order to make ends meet, many poor urban households in sub-Saharan Africa fall back on farming activities, either within the city boundaries or in the rural areas from which they come. The central question raised in this article is whether access to farmland influences a household's food situation. The findings come from a study on urban agriculture in Korogocho, one of two slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya, where a survey was conducted in 1994.

    Uganda, Sub-Saharan Africa

    The present land tenure situation in Uganda is essentially the result of four factors: customary tenure practices, the mailo tenure system introduced under the British colonial administration, the Land Reform Decree passed by Idi Amin’s government in 1975, and the disrupting social order under the Amin regime and during the period following its downfall. The impacts of the Land Reform Decree and civil disobedience have led to the degradation of common property resources, particularly forest areas and pastures.
