Energy crop expansion can increase land demand and generate displacement of food crops, which impacts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mainly through land-use change (LUC). Increased agricultural productivity could compensate for this.
This paper aims to elucidate the sliding scale between usufruct and ownership by applying a property rights framework to three Swedish forms of tenure in multifamily housing.

Le phénomène d’ATGE gagne l’ensemble du Sénégal, privant les communautés de leurs droits fonciers, des principaux moyens d’existance. L’IPAR, en partenariat avec le CNCR et aGter, a bénéficié d’un appui financier du CRDI pour exécuter ce projet de recherche- action participative et collaborative.

This has traditionally been the main way to grab land, speculate, and simultaneously prove ownership by its occupation.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a key tool for both environmental and land management. It identifies potential adverse and unintended consequences of the projects on land use and the environment and derives possible mitigation measures to address these impacts. Calculating the volume and severity of impacts is complex and often relies on selections and simplifications.
Despite the ongoing land administration reforms being implemented across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), including Ghana, as a viable pathway to achieve tenure security and greater efficiency in land administration, the subject of land dispute resolution has received relatively less attention.
