Enhancing responsible, equitable, land policy and use.

The amount of land available is fixed but the development needs and interests are increasing, including for environmental reasons. The immediate issues, depending on the context, include weak land governance, complex administration land conflicts, land grabbing, land and soil degradation, and a spiral effect into other resources such as water (including wetlands) encroachment.

Land tenure and rights have been historically patriarchal, less documented, and of varying tenure type.  This is changing, amidst resistance, fear or ignorance of the likely effect (both negative and positive), with international and national policies and laws seeking equity between genders, documentation and developing land into a multipurpose commodity.

Land is important for nature and prosperity - as tenure (defined relationship with land resources) affects decisions to conserve, which technologies to uptake or which investments should be made. Indeed, Land tenure affects the sustainability of projects and the overall well-being and developmental outlook of rural and urban areas according to several researches and experiences.

As such, we are contributing to responsible land use, policy, laws and shifts for nature and sustainable development.
