Sharecropping - landowners allow farmers to use and farm their land in return for part of the money that they sell for their crops

Thereby, it was more beneficially to produce excess crops and sell them for money so that they could pay off debts incurred by having gotten the land through government auction. Decreasing minimum land prices per acre of land encouraged speculators to buy the land and sell to the farmers with credit. In consequence, potential farmers could buy the lands in the smaller tracts appointed, rather than pay hefty prices for large amounts of forested land that could not be easily cleared quickly - and therefore not immediately entirely usable. In other words, there was more availability for the children of farmers to make their fortune on farm tracts out West.

One reason cited as to why landowner’s close their lands is that the owner’s aren’t allowed to impose any rules on their land, as stated within the requirements of the MFL. Although some might try to create and enforce rules that are discriminatory or limit the public’s right to recreation on the open lands, one solution might be to allow certain rules to be made by landowners as long as these rules are deemed appropriate by the DNR or the landowner’s municipality. Other solutions could include providing more monetary incentives for open lands or further modification of the Managed Forest Law that would decrease the amount of land an MFL landowner can close to the public or making it a requirement that only one person whose name is one the deed of private land may enroll the land within the MFL

With this suburban expansion, there is a lack of agricultural land, because the available land that was normally used to farm is being bought up by developers to create new housing and communities.

The production of agricultural products in the United States is dependent on the hand labor provided by migrant agricultural workers. However, this population is at higher risk for certain chronic illnesses that must be monitored frequently. With most of them working long hours, English illiterate and living in a poor socioeconomic status, access to preventive health care services becomes very challenging. Different solutions to tackle this challenge have been proposed, including mobile clinics as well as clinics devoted to providing medical care to this population. Both still face significant barriers in delivering health care services to agricultural migrant workers (AMWs). Building upon an idea proposed at the Finding

This chapter describes The Aguán Valley and land for the people, much like the people of Venezuela the people of Honduras are being treated badly because of the resources these countries have. In the beginning in of the book there was a foreword that was written by Eric Holt-Giménez. He explains what Land grabs are I would like to refer to the first page “land grabs are a means to power and control. This simple fact often lost in current debates over “large-scale land acquisitions”- is the central thesis of this book about the heroic struggle by peasants in the Aguán Valley of Honduras to keep their land in the face of the rapacious national elites bent on taking it” (Foreword).

In order to maintain and protect agriculture land we must enforce strict regulations from land being taken for urban sprawl. Government need to enforce laws setting aside certain areas that are designated for agricultural land. For example, Smart growth provides communities with public transit, but also it is surrounded by green space for growing food. This will help benefit the environment if people use public transit, biking or walking trails reducing air pollution. This is important in order to conserve natural areas such as farmland for growing crops, vegetables, fruit etc. We need this valuable farmland to grow food in order to live; if we keep taking land for urban sprawl our future for food security will be scarce. Another program is

Being one of the most extensive law reforms of the Law Commission, Land Registration Act 2002 aims to create a flawless legal framework for land registration, especially in terms of conveyancing with emphasis on overriding interests and adverse possession. It is agreed that the Land Registration Act 2002 (hereafter LRA 2002), by putting emphasis on strict registration, moved the idea of land ownership from ownership by possession to bureaucratization of title via registration. Therefore, LRA 2002 is said to bring further strictness and clarity to land ownership and subsequent conveyancing. In conjunction, LRA 2002 was expected to bring an “e-conveyancing revolution” to land registration which was awaited to be a major success. Although steps are taken towards this development, it is claimed that there is still long way to go before a complete and problem-free e-conveyancing system. Apart from matters relating to conveyancing, LRA 2002 consists of sections regarding overriding interests where their number and scope are widely reduced with specifications of registration introduced. Moreover, the Act includes strictly drafted provisions about adverse possession, aiming to bring further restrictions to this matter by bringing further difficulties to the acquisition of title and therefore shifting from a squatter prone approach to a registered owner supporting view.
