It has been argued that many of the poverty reduction strategy papers pay insufficient attetion to the role of land access and land distribution in rural poverty.

This study analyses the determinants of land tenure insecurity and its impact on intensity of use of purchased farm inputs among households in southern Ethiopia. Seventeen percent of the households stated that they were tenure insecure.

pays depuis deux ans après le phénomène el nino, conduisent à une prise de
conscience nouvelle de ce qu'il faut appeler la question foncière, de ses relations
