Abstract: Excerpt from the report Introduction: This publication describes how rural land is acquired, held, and transferred. It is intended for nonscientists who want an overview of the origins of our land tenure system as well as information on its current status. Because a large portion of privately owned rural land is agricultural, including land for grazing and forestry, this report concentrates on agricultural tenure and use. A brief review of urban and public lands is included to present as inclusive a view of land tenure as possible.
