Land Tenure Rights and Short- and Long-term Agricultural Practices: Empirical Evidence From Burkina Faso
Achille Augustin Diendéré, Jean-Paul Wadio
Abstract
Abstract This study examines the impact of land tenure rights on the adoption of short- and long-term agricultural practices and the impact of these practices on the income and food insecurity for rural households in Burkina Faso. The bivariate probit model and propensity score matching are used to analyze data collected from 4,398 rural households. The results show that ownership of permanent land rights only increases the likelihood of adopting long-term agricultural practices. In addition, adoption of short-term practices increases household income and reduces food insecurity, while adoption of long-term practices only increases household income.
