Agroforestry has the potential to halt this decline and improve the livelihoods of poor inhabitants of these areas. Yet agroforestry depends on people’s rights to plant and use trees, rights established by prevailing systems of land and tree tenure. The study has three objectives: (1) to quantify the effects of various land tenure institutions on the efficiency of agroforestry and cropland management and on investments; (2) to identify factors affecting the evolution of customary land tenure institutions; and (3) to assess the implications of land tenure institutions for gender equity and the preservation of the
natural resource base.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
