Abstract:
Gender-inclusive land ownership policy reforms could have a substantial impact on food security, nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods for young people in rural KwaZulu-Natal, writes Sabelo Mpisi, who spoke with young
female small-scale farmers while conducting ethnographic fieldwork in the province. nder customary land tenure systems in rural Southern Africa, many female farmers only have access to farmland through male heads of
households, such as their fathers, husbands, sons or brothers. Having insecure land tenure makes it risky
for these female farmers to invest in infrastructure and methods to improve their productivity.
