تؤدي التربة السليمة دوراً هاماً في توفير المياه النقية والقدرة على الصمود في وجه الفيضانات والجفاف. وتنقية المياه من خلال التربة عملية تحتجز الملوثات وتمنعها من الرشح إلى المياه الجوفية. وعلاوة على ذلك، تُجمِّع التربة المياه وتخزنها، وبالتالي يمكن للمحاصيل امتصاصها، ويحد ذلك من التبخر السطحي ويزيد من كفاءة استخدام المياه والإنتاجية. ويمكن للتربة السليمة التي تحتوي على الكثير من المواد العضوية أن تخزِّن مقادير كبيرة من المياه.

This report is the outcome of a study undertaken on men and women’s access to and control over land in seven districts of the Volta Region in Ghana. The study evolved out of a need for increased insight into gender differences in access to and control over land and the implications of insecure access to land for households within the Volta Region of Ghana. The objective of the study was to obtain an improved understanding of gender-specific constraints that exist in the Volta Region with regard to land tenure.

Issues relating to land and land reform have been moving up the agenda of rural poverty and food security in recent years with the increasing acceptance that the prerequisites for broad-based and equitable development include the essential need for people to have access to land and other natural resources. Access needs to be on an equitable basis allowing the poor and the disadvantaged, including women, to secure the assets needed for them and their families to generate sustainable livelihoods.
