Determinants and Implications of Foreign Land Deals in Ugandan Communities
Some of the factors that have been attributed to the global increase of Foreign Land Deals-FLDs include the three F's (food, fuel and finance) crises, and among others. However, most of the empirical evidences stem from the assessment of a broad set of countries. An analysis on the main determinants across host communities within a country presents specificity and closer reality. This study contributes by examining the community factors that could exert significant influence on determining whether or not a community receives FLDs in East African Community (EAC), focusing on Uganda.
An analysis of land use potential in arid and semi-arid areas: - central location, isiolo county
Arid and semi-arid areas are part of the global ecosystem that completes the whole. Despite their aridity conditions, ASALs are endowed with a variety of resources ranging from fertile soils, minerals, oil, wildlife, and rivers among others. The maintenance of land productivity in these fragile environments is a particular concern for many countries with large portions of their land in arid areas. This study which has been contextualised in Isiolo, Central location aims at analysing the land use potential with the aim of ensuring optimal utilisation.

Technical and allocative efficiency gains from integrated soil fertility management in the maize farming system of Kenya
Declining land productivity and
per capita
food availability poses challenges to overcoming land
degradation and poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. There is a need to identify ways of improving land
productivity particularly among smallholders. This study investigated the contribution of integrated soil
fertility management (ISFM) practices to both technical and allocative efficiencies in the maize farming
system of Kenya. To determine efficiency gains from ISFM, we compared efficiencies of two groups of
