Abstract: This article looks at land reform in the context of the Zero Hunger Program (ZHP) in South Africa, focusing on the potential for reducing hunger and food insecurity among smallholder and subsistence rural households. Examples and experiences from Brazil, Malawi, and Zambia, together with data from a South African case study of smallholder and subsistence farmers, are presented to illustrate the potential that an integrated approach to land reform can generate in addressing not just hunger in food‐insecure households, but also issues of equity in asset ownership and access to opportunities, as well as creating an environmentally and socially sustainable society. But there are certain conditions that should be fulfilled if this potential is to be realized.
