Abstract

This study examines youth access to agricultural land from both peri-urban and rural perspectives. Using the Techiman area as a case study, the study interviewed youth and elders made up of chiefs and family heads using multiple random sampling techniques. The results revealed that, the youth generally have access to small landholdings whether in the peri-urban or rural context. These small holdings were a manifestation of the challenges underling the youth access to land under customary system. The predominant challenges facing the youth included; high rental/acquisition cost, land scarcity and land disputes. The youth also suffered more from the urbanisation effects, but do not benefit from proceeds arising out of peri-urban land use conversions. The study recommends youth agricultural land access policy and a compensation regime which benefits both the youth and adults in land use conversions in the peri-urban areas of Ghana.
城乡结合部视角下的青年农地获取:加纳Techiman传统地区研究
本研究从城郊和农村两个角度考察了青年获得农业用地的途径。该研究以Techiman地区为例,采用多种随机抽样技术采访了由酋长和族长组成的青年和老年人。结果表明,无论是在城郊还是农村,青年一般都能获得小块土地。这些小块土地反映了青年在习惯制度下获得土地所面临的挑战。青年面临的主要挑战包括:高昂的租金/购置成本、土地稀缺和土地纠纷。年轻人也受到城市化影响的影响更大,但却不能从城郊土地使用转换所产生的收益中受益。该研究建议青年获得农业用地的政策和补偿制度,使加纳城郊地区的土地利用转换对青年和成年人都有利。
