Why Do Land Rights Matter?
Across the globe, people experiencing poverty often share three traits: they live in rural areas, rely on agriculture and forests to survive, and lack legal control over the land on which they depend.
In Indonesia, smallholder farmers, Indigenous communities, and coastal residents face the daily threat of displacement. Strengthening land rights helps reduce poverty, boost food security, protect the environment, and ensure inclusive development for individuals, families, and entire communities.
