“…It can lead to increased agricultural productivity through several ways. First, secure land tenure provides incentives for the landowner to make short- and long-term investment for the improvements of the land by removing the constant risk of losing the land (Besley, 1995; Deininger, 2003; Deininger et al, 2006; Field et al, 2006). Even this change in perception of the landowner will help to maintain soil health, which has a far-reaching impact to cope with climate change.…”

Tribal communities in India are most deprived. Socio-economically, they are poor and marginalised. The root cause of socio-economic marginalisation can be attributed to alienation of tribal people from their land, territory and resources. The overall situation of the tribal population of West Bengal is not better than the national average, even more deprived than the tribal population of other states. Despite progressive land reform laws and political commitment to implement such laws, issues of tribal land rights have not been addressed adequately. There is no such exclusive study to understand the situation of tribal land rights in the state of West Bengal. This article analyses the status of tribal land rights in the state context and makes some suggestions for improving the situation. It is found that despite distribution of land titles, a large section of the tribal population remains landless. A sizable portion has not received received record-of-rights. Claims of many tribal people for forest patta remain pending or stand rejected. Tribal land alienation continues to be a matter of concern. The state has not taken any concrete steps for the restoration of unlawfully alienated tribal lands. A large section of the tribal sharecroppers in the state remain unrecorded.

“…Peru -Field and Field (2010) analyse household responses to changes in relative prices of traditional versus export-oriented products with a panel of rural households between 1994 and 2004. They find that changes in relative prices lead to the production of new agricultural products, and the magnitude of the response was mitigated by households' lack of land ownership and access to regional and local markets.…”

An Updated Assessment of the Trade and Poverty Nexus in Latin America

Despite the growing political priority given to making trade work for the majority in Latin America, a notable gap exists in the knowledge about the distributive impacts of trade integration. This study attempts to fill this gap: it surveys the most recent contributions to the mainstream trade economics literature, assesses their relevance for Latin America and concentrates on specific quantitative empirical available on the region. It concludes that despite the impossibility to rigorously and unambiguously assert that trade openness is conducive to growth and poverty reduction, the preponderance of evidence supports this conclusion. However, the majority of empirical studies also show that the impact of trade on growth and poverty is generally small and that the causes of indigence are to be found elsewhere. Likewise, it is extremely arduous to find evidence that supports the notion that trade protection is good for the poor.

The main objectives of the project were to produce a set of rigorous theoretical and empirical economic studies, which would deepen our understanding of how conditions facing the world's poor have been evolving under globalization and provide a framework yielding the elements of a strategy that would induce the globalization process to become more pro-poor. In addition to the methodological and conceptual conference held in Helsinki at the end of 2004, the project organized three regional conferences to explore the impact of globalization on Asia, Africa, and Latin America, respectively, in 2005 and 2006.Because of very significant differences in initial conditions (including natural resource endowments, the quantity and quality of human capital, the institutional framework, and the quality of governance), as well as in internal dynamics of institutional and sociopolitical conditions, globalization has different effects on the poor in different regions of the developing world. Generally speaking, the poor in sub-Saharan Africa were essentially bypassed by the forces of globalization, while most of the Asian poor benefited-none more so than in China. Latin America occupies an intermediate position in
