Communal land tenure is a system where land is owned collectively by a group rather than by individuals. This arrangement often exists in indigenous or rural communities, where land is used for agriculture, grazing, or cultural practices. The rights to use the land are shared among community members, promoting cooperation and sustainable management of resources. In communal land tenure, decisions about land use and management are typically made through community consensus. This system can help protect the land from over-exploitation and ensure that all members have access to essential resources. It contrasts with individual land ownership, which can lead to privatization and potential conflicts.
