    This study relates to an on-going debate as to whether customary African land tenure must be reformed or converted to a statutory, individualised land tenure system (often referred to as a ‘titled’ system) as a pre-requisite to agricultural development. Past arguments in favour of titling claim that traditional tenure is insecure for the small farmer and thus creates disincentives for land improvements; that it prevents land from being used as collateral for credit; and that it prevents the transfer of land from inefficient users to efficient ones.

    A cinco años de la Cumbre Mundial sobre la Alimentación, y a inicios del siglo XXI, El estado mundial de la agricultura y la alimentación reflexiona sobre algunos de los principales desafíos que plantea la erradicación mundial del hambre y la pobreza. Esta empresa puede ser temible, pero lo es también el número de personas con hambre y subnutridas cuyo destino depende de una intervención acelerada y decidida. Un compromiso renovado y firme, a través de un esfuerzo concertado, permitiría cumplir el objetivo de la Cumbre Mundial sobre los Alimentos.

    Five years after the World Food Summit, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, The State of Food and Agriculture reflects on some of the main challenges faced in eliminating world hunger and poverty. The task may be daunting, but so are the numbers of hungry and undernourished people whose fate is dependent on decisive and accelerated action. I am convinced that, with a renewed commitment and determined, concerted effort, the goal of the World Food Summit can be met.
