Land tenure policy

Land tenure policy refers to the rules and regulations that determine how land is owned, managed, and transferred. It outlines the rights of individuals or groups to use, lease, buy, or sell land. This policy can affect agricultural practices, housing, and economic development. Different countries have various systems, such as private ownership, communal rights, or state control. Effective land tenure policies can promote investment, ensure food security, and support sustainable development, while unclear or unstable policies can lead to disputes, inequity, and displacement. Understanding these policies is crucial for anyone engaged in land-related issues.
