Responsible consolidation of customary lands
Land consolidation has been used to reduce the effects of land fragmentation in many parts of the world in order to increase food productivity and food security, amongst other benefits. However, its use on customary lands has been limited. land fragmentation on customary lands two main causes the nature of the customary land tenure system, and the somewhat linked agriculture system. The attempts to increase food productivity on customary lands have mostly involved fertilisation, and mechanisation. BUt with the smalland scattered farmlands, these approaches fall short of increasing food productivity. Previous attemps at land consollidation have involved directly transfering land consollidation approaches fromother regions of the world. These have failed as little consideration were given to the local conditions of customary lands. This thesis suggests the use of responsible approaches; ones that continuosly consider and align technical and administrative conditions, and internal processes inherent to land consolidation, to the dynamic local societal demands, economic conditions, cultural and legal requirements. To this end, this thesis aimed to develop aresponsible land consolidation approach for customary lands. For this purpose, using Ghana as a case four specific objective are addressed.
