Agricultural Land Use Change and Sustainable Peri Urban Livelihoods

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Land Management, Town Planning and Development practitioners as well as students would find this book especially very useful. Development NGOs and local government authorities can sufficiently rely on this book to give them an insight into the conditions, practices and circumstances that work against the ability of rural land owners and poor peasant/tenant farmers from eking out their livelihoods on sustainable basis from their most precious resource - Land; especially those within the peripheries of urban areas. Furthermore, the book exposes the loopholes in the planning and implementation of urban development policies in the cities and towns of many developing countries like Ghana. It provides appropriate suggestions on how to tackle and resolve the challenges confronting local land owners, tenant farmers, Town Planners and the Central Government in a bid to ensure that livelihood needs of these marginalised groups are obtained in a more sustainable manner even as there is invasion and succession of land uses on their farmlands in the wake of urbanisation, immigration and high rate of urban population increases among others.
