Asia Land Forum session on “Land Inequality in Asia: Evidence, Experience and Solutions”
27 October 2021 | 4:00 PM Jakarta time | Zoom
Globally and in the Asian continent, Land Inequality (LI) is substantively growing. It is increasing to the extent that it is significantly higher than it has ever been registered before. Unequal access to land is threatening the livelihoods of 2.5 billion people, globally. In South Asia, countries show the highest levels of inequality, where 10% of landowners possess up to 75% of agricultural land. But what is land inequality? How do we measure it? What kind of impact does it have on the people who suffer from this phenomenon? And what kind of solutions can address the roots of land inequality?
This Learning Lab aims to raise awareness on the issue of land inequality in Asia. Specifically, AFA will be presenting the insights gleaned by the organization as part of the Land Matrix Initiative (LMI) on how large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) impact the social, economic and environmental situation of local communities in the region.
