Dar es Salaam is one of the fastest growing cities in sub-Saharan Africa. In its rapidly expanding peri-urban fringe poor migrants from distant rural areas settle down on plots they can afford that provide access to urban markets. They engage in commercial poultry farming establishing sustainable livelihoods and improving food security in the city.
Four billion people who live on less than two US dollars per day represent in total an enormous purchasing power. Multinational corporations such as Nestlé, Unilever, Danone and Dr. Oetker discovered these markets long ago and now seek to attract this customer group with new products and marketing strategies. It is time to take a close look at the effects of this development on poverty
The basic agricultural structure in Poland consists of small and medium family-owned farmsteads. Public funds grant their support primarily to farmers capable of competing efficiently within the EU market. In most cases, that means farmsteads covering a larger area. It is the real property market that regulates the agrarian structure. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present the situation on the farmland market in respect to Poland's membership in the European Union.

Recognition of the importance of institutions that provide security of property rights and relatively equal access to economic resources to a broad cross-section of society has renewed interest in the potential of asset redistribution, including land reforms. Empirical analysis of the impact of such policies is, however, scant and often contradictory. This paper uses panel household data from India, together with state-level variation in the implementation of land reform, to address some of the deficiencies of earlier studies.
Although a large theoretical literature discusses the possible inefficiency of sharecropping contracts, the empirical evidence on this phenomenon has been ambiguous at best. Household-level fixed-effect estimates from about 8,500 plots operated by households that own and sharecrop land in the Ethiopian highlands provide support for the hypothesis of Marshallian inefficiency. At the same time, a factor adjustment model suggests that the extent to which rental markets allow households to attain their desired operational holding size is extremely limited.
Sinds het vrijlaten van de prijs van onverpachte grond, in 1963, heeft er in Nederland zowel eind jaren zeventig als eind jaren negentig een explosieve grondprijsstijging plaats gevonden, gevolgd door een bijna even forse daling. De reële grondprijsontwikkeling laat zien dat beide pieken ongeveer even hoog zijn. Voor elk van de 2 perioden werd in dit onderzoek de prijs afgezet tegen de verhandelde oppervlakte. Dat leverde in beide gevallen een cyclus op.

Vanuit een theoretisch perspectief wordt de relatie geanalyseerd tussen macro-economie en natuur- en landschaps-ontwikkeling. Het is een poging te komen tot een juiste invalshoek: een denkoefening vanuit economisch-theoretisch perspectief. Allereerst wordt het probleem in verband gebracht met de literatuur over de Groene Kuznetscurve. Op basis daarvan concluderen we dat overheidsbeleid een essentieel onderdeel is van mogelijke relaties tussen macro-economie en natuur- en landschapsontwikkeling. Consistentie is een eis om een optimale combinatie van groei en natuur tot stand te brengen.

Land market has started to develop extremely in the Czech Republic since 2002. The annual sale and purchase of estates represented 0.2% of the total land resources between 1993-2001. The sale and the purchase represented 2.9% of total land resources after 2002 and especially after the EU accession of the Czech Republic. These values of sale are the highest from the EU countries. On the other side, land prices decreased slightly in comparison with the prices before the EU accession. Prices of agricultural land are significantly lower than in the EU-15.
