Library Resource
Everyone has a relationship to land. It is an asset that, with its associated resources, allows its owner access to loans, to build their houses and to set up small businesses in cities. In rural areas, land is essential for livelihoods, subsistence and food security. However, land is a scarce resource governed by a wide range of rights and responsibilities. And not everyone’s right to land is secure. Mounting pressure and competition mean that improving land governance - the rules, processes and organizations through which decisions are made about land - is more urgent than ever.

This publication on Secure Land Rights for All demonstrates how secure land rights are particularly important in helping to reverse three types of phenomena: gender discrimination; social exclusion of vulnerable groups; and wider social and economic inequalities linked to inequitable and insecure rights to land. It argues that policymakers should adopt and implement the continuum of land rights because, no single form of tenure can meet the different needs of all social groups.

FAO’s Land Tenure Notes provide information on
land tenure in a format that can be used by grassroots
organizations which work with small farmers
and others in rural communities. Improving secure
access to land by the rural poor is essential in order
to reduce poverty and hunger and to promote sustainable
rural development. Improving people’s
knowledge of their rights to land is an important
part of making rights real, thereby allowing people
to improve their livelihoods.
