The system of tenure and use of agricultural land by example of Penza region

Abstract

The article discusses the system of tenure and use of agricultural land by example of Penza region. This system is a key element in determining whether and how people, communities and other users can acquire rights and associated responsibilities to use and control land resources. There are many problems arising due to poor land administration, which can impact social stability, sustainable use of the environment, investment and economic growth. Recognition of the key role of land in sustainable development and food security is ensured by equitable access to land resources and land rights. Livelihoods, particularly for the rural poors, are based on secure and equitable access to land, forest and water resources and represent a key driver of economic growth.
