The study looked at why it's hard for poor people in Orissa, India to get land. They found that land reform has helped medium farms more than the poor. Land records from the past can help solve land disputes now. Laws against land-leasing didn't work well. Women could have more say in land matters with joint land titles. Land administration in Orissa needs to be more organized and fair. Land markets are not very active, making it hard for poor people to buy land. Having small, scattered plots of land hurts farming productivity. Poor people need better access to common land. Allowing poor people to lease land more easily can help, but they also need access to loans.
