There is no broad-based empirical study that has been carried out to identify, systematically and quantitatively, the factors affecting the use of land for forests, agroforests or cropland. The use and allocations of land use is governed by property right institutions and land tenure systems. A study was carried out in seven countries with a view of identifying the causes of choices of land tenure institutions and their consequences for the use and management of land trees. This chapter summarizes the major findings of this study which was conducted in Indonesia, Vietnam, Nepal, Japan, Ghana, Uganda and Malawi. The issues addressed in this project (deforestation, communal property, commercial tree planting, and annual crop farming) and how land tenure affects them are discussed
