    Eastern Africa

    The enormity of the African refugee problem underscores the importance of resettlement issues in land use planning. Efforts to resettle subsistence-oriented agricultural populations have often come into conflict with host, or in-place land uses as competition for scarce resources lead to land degradation, violence, and the failure of resettlement schemes. The success of refugee resettlement will depend to a large extent on the degree to which host and refugee land-use patterns can become integrated or reconciled.

    Somalia

    Repeated and lingering famine on the Horn of Africa has produced enormous pastoralist refugee populations in a region where livestock production is a major form of land use. Permanently settling destitute pastoralists into pursuits other than herding has a record of failure, can disrupt host land-uses causing social and ecological problems, and can deny utilization of very large grazing areas where pastoralism may be the only ecologically and economically sustainable land-use.

    The distributional benefits of commercialization of agriculture, access to commercialization opportunities, and sharing of commercialization risks are functions of institutional arrangements. Obviously, the indirect food security and nutritional effects are, thereby, partly a function of such institutional arrangements. This chapter explores the relevance to food security of one form of contractual relationship in agriculture: formal contracts between producers and buyers (generally processors or exporters), a production and marketing system known as contract farming.
