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.

"Strengthening land, coastal and mangrove
governance through tenure security”

Around the world, millions of people live in poverty because they do not have legal rights to the land they farm and live on. In Indonesia, indigenous peoples, small farmers, and coastal communities are at risk of losing their land at any time. By strengthening land rights, we pave the way for an escape from poverty, increase food security, strengthen women’s participation, protect the environment, and ensure a just future for all.
