Tenure related issues in bioenergy development - Short guidance
Around 75% of the world’s poor live in rural areas, and the majority of them are subsistence farmers, smallholders and pastoralists that depend on land access for their production of food, feed and fibre (Morton, 2007; Quan, 2010). In addition, access to agricultural land, pastures and forests, is important to many communities, especially the rural poor, for access to a broad range of goods that are key to their livelihoods, such as fuelwood, medicinal plants, and subsistence income from wild resources and forest products. Therefore, access to these resources is essential to sustainable development, and respect for tenure rights, including customary ones, is key to the fair and equitable allocation of land resources (GBEP, 2011).
