Land Tenure Working Paper 15
The present document emphasizes the right to food as a primary objective of the set of
public policies concerned with economic and social development. Achieving this
objective depends on responsible governance of land and other natural resources. The
importance of land lies in the fact that it often represents a direct link with cultural
identity, while serving as the primary source of food production and sustenance.
