| Summary: | This note provides guidance on how to
ensure that agricultural investments respect existing land
rights, both formal and informal, and thereby avert land
disputes. Failure to respect land rights - in particular
country - or region-specific land tenure systems and
history, including use by pastoralists - has negative
consequences for communities and other stakeholders. It is
also financially damaging for investors who shortcut due
process and end up spending time and money dealing with land disputes. |
