Underutilized farmland threatens food security, calls for land policy overhaul.
The article discusses how better use of agricultural land in the Central Black Earth region is hindered by problems like unclear land boundaries and limited access to land for local farmers. It suggests a strategy for improving land policies to address these issues. The main goal is to develop a more effective approach to managing agricultural land. The researchers identify problems causing underuse of land, like poor land administration and lack of implementing mechanisms for land laws. They propose two scenarios for improvement - a slow approach and a more targeted one. By addressing these issues, they aim to create a better system for using agricultural land in the region, benefiting both farmers and the overall economy.
