The article outlines the main trends in the spatial development of agricultural land use and land tenure in the Non-Chernozem Economic Zone of the European part of Russia, which are summarized in several groups; worldwide trends, the most significant changes in countries, production and market phenomena, changes in the forms and types of ownership and land management. An assessment of the main problems that prevent the spatial development of agricultural land use is considered in the article paying the special attention to the areas unfavorable for agricultural production. The authors describe the existing problems in the field of land relations and administration of agricultural lands.

Intrinsic Component

Considers family land as part of the small holder sector, reflecting problems such as small size and debt. The author argues that because family land is an intrinsic component of the small holding sector, the distinction between legal and non-legal tenure needs to be revised. She concludes that economic pressures have led to the sale of family land, causing a decline in agricultural production.

Travelling stock reserves (TSRs) are thought to represent some of the highest-quality and least degraded remnants of threatened temperate woodland in south-eastern Australia. These public reserves have not had the same high levels of grazing pressure and other disturbances as woodland remnants on private land. Thus, TSRs are expected to be important for the protection of biodiversity in heavily cleared and modified landscapes. We tested the hypothesis that land tenure had significant effects on the quality of woodlands by comparing vegetation structural attributes between TSRs and remnant vegetation used for primary production purposes. Vegetation attributes were monitored in 155 permanent plots over 5 years in remnant temperate woodland sites in the Riverina bioregion of New South Wales. Overall, TSRs supported higher native plant species richness and were characterised by higher ground cover of native shrubs and less cover of exotic plant species than agricultural production areas. We found land tenure had significant effects on some vegetation attributes demonstrated to be important for threatened fauna. We attribute these results to TSRs having a history of lower grazing pressure compared with remnants managed for agricultural production. Our study provides empirical evidence to support the high conservation value of TSRs in formerly woodland-dominated, but now extensively cleared agricultural landscapes.

Small Holder

In Cameroon, agriculture constitutes the main livelihood for a large portion of the population. Against this background, land tenure security is of crucial importance for agricultural production and off-farm activities. This article aims to foster understanding of small-holder farmers’ access to land in the Njombé-Penja district of Cameroon. Data was collected using focus group discussions with small-holders, key informant interviews, eld observations and formal surveys. Results indicate that the current land tenure situation often limits small-holder farmers’ access to productive land. This often results in conflicts between various actors including plantation agriculture, rural elites and research institutions, and hence threatens small-holders’ security for food and livelihoods. We conclude that there is a need to revisit existing policies for land allocation to multinational companies in order to protect small-holder producers’ rights and security, and to harmonize the various tenure systems as a means to avoid competing claims among various actors. Key words: land tenure, small holder, rights, access

The Creation

The author gives an appraisal of the land reform program in Mexico and an evaluation of the results. Although the agricultural production per worker has doubled during the last twenty years, the gross agricultural production has tripled in the same period, while the working population at present engaged in agriculture which amounts to 50 per cent of the working population, contributes only 20 per cent to the national production. On the ejidos the production per worker and per hectare are much less than the average. The author concludes that too much value has been attached to the land tenure aspects and the legal regulations and too little to the creation of opportunities for efficient farming. E.
