3 - Access to Resources
History, values and beliefs are reflected in the way societies organize their systems of agricultural production and natural resource management. They determine the extent to which farmers and other rural community members have the right and power to secure the resources they need to ensure food security and income.
They also have an important influence on the political climate in which resources are managed and regulated. There are many different ways in which access to land and other resources can be organized. These include freehold, leasehold, sharecropping and rental arrangements.
Access and control over land and other natural resources is regulated through many different systems and arrangements. Its plays a major role in rural livelihood security. Many development projects that deal with agriculture and natural resource management do not pay enough attention to assessing or understanding the issues of rights and tenure before starting project activities. It is often assumed that development interventions will automatically benefit the community at large. Without proper management and channelling of resources, this is unlikely to be the case.
