“…Urbanization has serious effects on the livelihood of those who depend heavily on agriculture and its related activities (Nassar et al 2019). Ghana crossed the urbanization threshold in 2010 when 50% of the population was reported to be living in cities (Ghana Statistical Service [GSS] 2014).…”

“…The political situation restricts the policy options for good environmental governance and makes it challenging to adopt best-practice solutions to deal with the problems of resource scarcity (Qumsiyeh & Albaradeiya, 2022) (Nassar, Levy, Keough, & Nassar, 2019). Palestinians have no planning authority in this region and are often prohibited, through military orders, from constructing buildings (Nassar et al, 2019). Consequently, irregular and fragmented urban forms emerge, mainly when available land for future development is severely limited (Abdelhamid, 2006).…”

“…It is unknown how the small pieces of land reallocated to the internal refugees would be inherited. On the other hand, limited resources among smallholder farmers hinder the acquisition of new parcels of land (for increasing farm sizes), and sometimes smallholder farmers sell their land to generate finance for other uses or as a method of obtaining immediate benefits; this has been observed in Asia and other parts of the world [52,53]. Very few rural farmers could save some income for use in buying or leasing land for their agricultural production.…”

Land Access in the Development of Horticultural Crops in East Africa. A Case Study of Passion Fruit in Burundi, Kenya, and Rwanda

Rapid population growth in fertile agricultural lands of East Africa creates land scarcity, which has become a major hindrance to land access for the introduction of new horticultural crops. But their introduction in these areas is increasing, because of their high market price, which improves farmers’ income. As such, this research evaluated land access dynamics (availability, acquisition, and use changes) on the introduction of passion fruits in East Africa. The study used purposeful sampling to collect information from 171 passion fruit farmers from Burundi (60), Kenya (51), and Rwanda (60) through interviews during field surveys. Among the respondents from all three countries, inheritance and land purchase were the predominant modes of land access (>50% and >21%, respectively). Furthermore, the substitution of other crops by passion fruits was high (>60%) among Kenyan and Rwandan farmers, but low (18%) among Burundian farmers. Our findings indicate that land access influences the patterns of adoption of new crops, since, when limited in supply, it may require the acquisition of new land space, abandonment of other crops, or opting for mixed farming. As such, land access should be a consideration in the promotion of new crops for sustainable agricultural ventures.
