  • Incorporating Land Tenure Security into Conservation

    Open AccessBrian Robinson, Yuta J Masuda et al.ARTICLEConservation Letters2018

    Insecure land tenure plagues many developing and tropical regions, often where conservation concerns are highest. Conservation organizations have long focused on protected areas as tenure interventions, but are now thinking more comprehensively about whether and how to incorporate other land tenure strategies into their work, and how to more soundly ground such interventions on evidence of both conservation and human benefits. Through a review of…

  • Identifying and addressing land governance constraints to support intensification and land market operation

    Open AccessKlaus Deininger, D Hilhorst et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2014Cited by: 18References: 19

    Beyond concerns about agricultural productivity growth, issues of land governance have attracted global interest as demand for land acquisition by outsiders has increased rapidly but most of the transfers failed to live up to expectations and instead disrupted local livelihoods. We use the land governance assessment framework to identify key conceptual issues and identify how land governance in 10 African countries compares to global good practic…

  • Domestic land acquisitions in West Africa

    Thea Hilhorst, Joost NelenCHAPTERHandbook of land and water grabs…2012

    Most analysis of the wave of large-scale land acquisitions in Africa has focused on the role of international players and central government.

These demands on time affected income and productivity, while the diversion of reso…

  • Opportunities for managing solid waste flows in the periurban interface of Bamako and Ouagadougou

    Open AccessDerek Eaton, D Hilhorst et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Urbanization2003

    This paper examines the links between solid urban waste management and peri-urban agriculture in Bamako and Ouagadougou. Staple crop farmers in the vicinity of both cities value urban waste as a source of organic matter and are prepared to pay for it. Cultivation on degraded soils has even been revived in some cases thanks to this readily available resource. However, uncertain land tenure means that farmers have little incentive to ensure the saf…
