Abstract: Tenure means the holding of rights to use land. Tenure arrangements embrace many agreements. The function of the tenure system is to distribute rights to the use of land among individuals so that land can be used in an orderly way. It provides both social and economic stability, and it in turn can be stabilized through continued traditional usages, which are discussed in this summary of farm sizes, incomes, and types of tenure.
