Agricultural Tenancy

Agricultural tenancy refers to a legal arrangement where a person (the tenant or farmer) rents land from the landowner to cultivate crops or rear livestock. The tenant pays rent, which may be monetary or a share of the produce, and in return, gains the right to use the land for farming purposes. These arrangements can vary in terms of rights, duration, and obligations, often governed by specific laws or agreements to ensure both parties' interests are protected. Agricultural tenancy helps facilitate efficient land use and supports rural livelihoods by providing access to land for cultivation.
