The research looked at how land reform in Kenya affects farm productivity in different areas. They studied three districts with different land systems. They found that using land as collateral for loans can be risky for farmers. Land rights and tenure security impact income, social status, and access to financial markets. Land dispute decisions made by local elders were often upheld by courts due to technicalities. Group ownership of land was not common but could help address inequalities. Women need more than just land security to participate in the land market. The research suggests improving the land reform system based on existing records and a new addressing system.
