dc.description.abstractThis Opening Statement delivered by Josué Dioné, Director Sustainable Development Division United Nations Economic Commission for Africa at the Ad Hoc Expert Group Meeting on Population, Agriculture and Environment.

Rapid population growth, widespread poverty, persistent food insecurity, and alarming rate of environmental degradation have fueled an increasing debate on land tenure systems and land reforms in Africa. The current worldwide attention on the land-reform process in Zimbabwe underscores the urgent need to address land reform implementation in Africa.
