    Increased levels and volatility of food
    prices has led to a surge of interest in large-scale

    conducive to an agrarian structure to contribute to
    broad-based development in the long term. Based on a
    historical review of episodes of growth of large farms and
    their impact, this paper identifies factors underlying the

    Nicaragua

    The authors use data from Nicaragua to
    examine the impact of the award of registered and
    nonregistered title on land values and on investments
    attached to land. They find that receipt of registered title
    increases land values by 30 percent and greatly increases
    the propensity to invest, bringing investment closer to the

    Over the past quarter century, Vietnam’s
    agricultural sector has made enormous progress. Vietnam’s
    performance in terms of agricultural yields, output, and

    sector now faces growing domestic competition - from cities,
    industry, and services - for labor, land, and water. Rising
