In the developing world, land reform is considered as a crucial feature of economic development. While the objectives of land reform may be attractive, achieving them is only possible if the beneficiaries of the process are sufficiently equipped and supported. In South Africa an important objective of land reform is the attainment of food security. This research paper examines the challenges that emerging farmers are experiencing in grain product…

Assessment of Community-based Natural Resource Management in the Savannas Using the Capacity Continuum - Multiple Drivers Model
In southern Africa, despite the enormous development effort and attention that Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) has received there has been an increase in disillusionment with this approach due to its lack of conceptual rigour. In recent years CBNRM has received increasing criticism, with some scholars calling for its complete abandonment. This study employs a new conceptual model, the Capacity Continuum - Multiple Drivers (CCM…

The existing body of literature on community-based natural resource management suggests that local institutions are a mainstay, particularly for the management of plants and animals upon which communities depend for livelihood. However, evidence from the Mufurudzi resettlement scheme in Zimbabwe refutes this assertion. This paper examines the effectiveness of local religious institutions in the management of forest and woodland resources at the m…
