Conference Papers & ReportsMarch, 2017UgandaThe need to establish the link between land tenure and food security is increasingly gaining currency as governments and development organizations refocus their effort towards assisting farmers to move away from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture.

A Direct-Inverse-Direct" Relationship"
Reports & ResearchPolicy Papers & BriefsJune, 2017Ethiopia, AfricaThis paper proposes a new interpretation of the farm size-productivity relationship. Using two rounds of the Ethiopian Rural Household Survey, and drawing on earlier work on five countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the paper shows that the relationship between farm size and productivity is neither monotonic nor univocal. Most previous studies that tested the inverse farm size-productivity relationship used ordinary least squares estimation, therefore reporting parameter estimates at the conditional mean of productivity.

A terra, no que respeita ao regime jurídico, formas de acesso e ocupação, segurança de posse, tipos de utilização, investimento e planeamento do território, é um elemento estruturante que influencia o tipo de desenvolvimento a longo prazo.
Para além de permitir a principal fonte de subsistência nas zonas rurais (actividade agrícola), a terra constitui também um elemento sagrado que garante o encontro com os ancestrais e estrutura as relações sociais, sobretudo em sociedades maioritariamente rurais como as moçambicanas.
