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.
