En Centrafrique, la terre était un bien communautaire inaliénable. Les autochtones occupaient des domaines pour l’agriculture qui devenaient par la suite leurs « propriétés ». Au fur et à mesure que la population croît dans les zones périurbaines, la réserve foncière communautaire diminue et devient des réserves foncières familiales, ce qui a conduit à l’individualisation des droits fonciers marquant ainsi une rupture avec le mode d’accès traditionnel au profit d’un mode d’accès moderne à la terre agricole devenue un bien marchand.

While self-assessments of welfare have
become popular for measuring poverty and estimating welfare

Tanzania, to study scale heterogeneity. Respondents were
asked to score stylized vignettes, as well as their own

This report summarizes the findings of
the Uganda Sustainable Land Management Public Expenditure
Review (SLM PER). The SLM PER was undertaken to achieve six
main objectives: (i) establish a robust data base on
SLM-related public expenditure that can support credible
empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for
conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the
future; (iii) analyze the level and composition of SLM

Climate-induced livelihood transitions
in the agricultural systems of Africa are increasingly
likely. A recent study by Jones and Thornton (2009) points
to the possibility of such climate-induced livelihood
transitions in the mixed crop-livestock rainfed
arid-semiarid systems of Africa. These mixed systems cover
over one million square kilometers of farmland in West
Africa, Eastern Africa, and Southeastern Africa. Their

Since 2007, capital markets have acquired a newfound interest in agricultural land as a portfolio investment. This phenomenon is examined through the theoretical lens of financialization. On the surface the trend resembles a sort of financialization in reverse – many new investments involve agricultural production in addition to land ownership. Farmland also fits well into current financial discourses, which emphasize getting the right kind of exposure to long-term agricultural trends and ‘value investing’ in genuinely productive companies.
