Land tenure & land use
Narrated lesson · press play
Who really owns the land you farm on, and what are you allowed to do with it? In this lesson we meet Namibia's five land tenure systems — rented, state, leasehold, freehold and communal — then look at how the land is actually used, from shifting cultivation and settled fields to open and fenced grazing. Along the way we'll see why the way you hold land shapes how well it is cared for.
