Library ResourcePolicy Papers & BriefsOctober, 1992Uganda
In the developed countries less than 20 per cent of the population is engaged in agriculture. The rest is employed in the industrial sector. In the underdeveloped countries less than 10 per cent of the population is employed in the industrial sector and the rest is engaged in agriculture. At once this dictates that, for some time to come, the route to development in the latter countries will depend on agriculture, which also mainly depends on land policy and tenure. The land question is a contradiction in land rights and consequential social, economic and political abuses replicated on it.

This paper examines the evolution and the nature of the current forms of land tenure in Masindi District and the extent to which these forms impair or facilitate positive socio-economic changes. Such an examination is vital in light of the fact that there exists no convincing empirically grounded studies on the impact of the official land policies on the relationships between forms of land tenure, social structure and agricultural production.

The paper describes the general physical and demographic features of eastern Sorsogon where Gracilaria farming is being developed. Gracilaria, like the Eucheuma seaweeds prior to farming, are presently gathered from the wild stocks. Unless some form of management is introduced, the natural seaweed beds will be depleted due to intensive collection for cash income by the fishing community.

L'objet de ce rapport final d'activités consiste essentiellement à une approche critique des différents aspects du programme de promotion de l'aquaculture qui ont été traités au cours de mon mandat d'expert associé. Préalablement à cette brève analyse, je rappellerai les termes de références qui m'ont été attribués ainsi qu'un résumé des principaux résultats obtenus au cours de mes trois années de présence au sein du projet PNUD/FAO-MAG/88/005 (12/04/1989 – 30/06/1992). Ce document se termine par la liste des documents et rapports établis au cours de ces trois années.

Un des plus grands handicaps au développement de la pisciculture à Madagascar est l'absence de documents techniques de base en langues française et/ou malgache. En effet, la plupart des quelques documents techniques sur l'aquaculture disponibles en Afrique et Madagascar sont, de nos jours, en langue anglaise.

The devastating environmental effects of deforestation and the exploitation of other natural resources in the developing world have been well documented, yet their impact on local communities has received far less attention. This report looks at how land degradation and deforestation are being addressed at the local level, where households have experienced the reduction of farm size and the decline of natural resources. Through a comparison of Asia and Africa, the evolution of land tenure institutions within diverse cultural, natural, and policy environments is examined.
