Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Landesa works to ensure that women gain equal access to one of the most important assets to agricultural households: land. Because secure rights to land for women can increase agricultural productivity and confer other household benefits, landesa works to ensure that women gain increased control over the land they till. We do this through intensive partnerships with governments, grassroots work in the community, and partnership with other organizations working on development issues.

Activity 3

Landesa's recommendations have been incorporated into a series of historic policy and legislative changes over the last two decades that have provided china's 200 million farming families greater confidence in their security. Landesa continues to work in the interests of the rural poor and serves as a valued advisor to key government agencies to strengthen farmers' land rights through documentation and registration, improve farmer's compensation and due process rights in takings, and increase farmers' awareness of their land rights to make their 30-year tenure agreements more meaningful.
