Land tenure policies

Land tenure policies refer to the rules and regulations governing how land is owned, used, and transferred. They determine who can claim ownership, how land can be used (like for farming or building), and the rights people have over that land. These policies can include private ownership, communal land, or state control. Effective land tenure policies are crucial for economic development, environmental management, and social equity, as they influence access to resources, investment in land improvements, and the protection of land rights for individuals and communities. Balancing these interests can help promote sustainable development.
