Land tenure system innovation and agricultural technology adoption in Burkina Faso: Comparing empirical evidence to the worsening situation of both rural people vulnerability and vulnerable groups’ access to land
Summary. Burkina Faso's 2009 land reform gave farmers formal property rights to encourage agricultural technology adoption. The study finds formal land rights do increase adoption of soil fertility technologies compared to customary rights. However, the law's actual implementation worsens rural livelihoods and reduces vulnerable groups' land access, creating a gap between theory and practice. The authors conclude additional measures are needed to protect rural people despite technology gains.
