This research seminar will introduce our collaborative land and forest tenure research initiative. Recent tenure reforms across globe are changing the ways people govern forests, agroforestry and small farms. Overall these reforms have recognized collective and individual rights of indigenous peoples and women. However, on-the-ground story is different and often complex for the marginalized groups.
Two empirical pilot studies from Bolivia and Colombia will address the key research question: how land tenure arrangements impact socially diverse groups like indigenous people and women (quinoa) smallholder communities in Altiplano region of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia and agro-forestry (coffee)small farms in Colombia.
What’s new research? You might be interested in this simplified version of social science research methods and concise conceptual analysis of land tenure institutional arrangements for socially diverse smallholders. The findings of this presentation will generate evidence-based discussion around governance of land tenure policy dynamics and its (un)intentional influence on individual (men and women) tenure rights, and access to resources.

10. Governance of Forest Tenure
Classification of FORESTS - who defines?
Property rights- why, for whom and why?
Access, withdrawal, management,
exclusion, and alienation
Governance: tenure types, overlapping
institutions, rules, policies, and stakeholders
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
11. i. Overview of Tenure in LA
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
Forest tenure: collective
Complex, but comparatively
higher secured indigenous
territories and community
forest rights
Small farms: individual
social disparity; indigenous
and Afro-American
communities and women
12. Forest Tenure: Collective
Proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Target 1.4 calls for (by 2030) men and women to have equal
rights, it does not recognize community land rights.
Forests, pastures, and bodies of water which rural
households rely on for their livelihoods
Connecting community land rights to SDGs: before final
agreement at U.N. Summit meeting in Sept 2015.

Case studies- lake Titicaca and coffee region
Preliminary findings
Analysis – social and institutional diversity

Individual tenure rights – recognizing women’s land title
Land Title – formal (legalization) and informal (customary)
Ownership and access: men, women and youths
How and why land title formalization- who benefits?

19. iii. Case studies – Bolivia and Colombia
Two analytical studies – independent (2013)
Key objective – individual rights to land and
agro-forests coffee and Kañiwa/quinoa
Methods: Participatory action research, field
observations, and scientific and grey literature

20. Individual land tenure
For this presentation: focus on individual tenure
Colombia: smallholder agro-forestry (coffee
farms - men)
Bolivia: marginalized small-farms hardy food
crops (kañiwa quinoa farms- women)
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
22. iv. Preliminary Findings
Bolivian case study (in Altiplano region)
Small-farms – informal arrangements
Climate variability affects socio-economically
marginalized men and women
(un)intended impact of value-chains of
Kaniwa on IP women
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
23. iv. Preliminary Findings
Colombian case study (in Quindia region)
Informal tenure claims
Tree compositions decision affected the
land-use management by men/ women
Formalization of the land title: ambiguity
on joint titling at household level.
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
24. v. Analysis: Social Diversity
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
e.g. in Bolivia
Vulnerability not necessarily gendered, but
depends on ethnic diversity
Increase global demand impact local farming
practice of women (indirectly food security)
Access matters, but not titling
25. v. Analysis: Social Diversity
Since 1 9 6 7 / Science to cultivate change
e.g. in Colombia
Crop diversification (security net) = women
only with secured land title
Progressive reform, but joint titling a concern
at local level compared to individual title
Land ownership defines indirectly (market/
capital) access and usufruct rights for women
26. v. Analysis: Institutional Diversity
e.g. Bolivia. Kaniwa influenced by global demand
Informal rules continues to dominate the land
tenure arrangements of IPs (extra-legal)
e.g. Colombia. Coffee agroforestry’s local market
Formalizing land title challenge traditional
gender equity- but, titling is not an end in
itself.
