book description

The provided text outlines the focus of a study on Ethiopia's efforts to address soil conservation and afforestation as a means to counteract the degradation of its agricultural resources. The study specifically examines the challenges related to tenure ambiguity, uncertainty, and insecurity arising from the state's ownership of land, which served as the context for implementing these conservation and afforestation innovations.

The narrative appears to unfold the story of how rural communities responded to the project-driven adoption of measures to protect the land, despite the persistent threat of land reallocation. The study delves into a range of complex issues, including over-population, revolution, agrarian reform, population relocation, land reallocations, internationally financed projects, and civil war.
