Luật Đất đai mới: triển vọng và thách thức cho nông dân sản xuất nhỏ ở Việt Nam

Luật Đất đai 2024 ở Việt Nam giải quyết những hạn chế trong Luật Đất đai 2013 trước đó, nhằm hiện đại hóa quản lý đất đai và thúc đẩy sự công bằng, minh bạch trong các giao dịch đất đai. Luật này cũng mở ra các cơ hội cho những hộ nông dân sản xuất nhỏ thông qua việc cho phép tích tụ và tập trung đất nông nghiệp để sản xuất quy mô lớn hơn, đồng thời cho phép sử dụng đất đa mục đích như kết hợp nông nghiệp với chế biến và dịch vụ. Ngoài ra, luật cũng mở rộng thêm việc công nhận quyền sử dụng đất…

Certainly! Here's the excerpt: --- This report provides a comparative analysis of the processes and lessons learned from four pilots on Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) and community-based value-chain and forestry enterprise development undertaken by CT Alliance members with support from the MRLG project. Across all pilots, it was observed that promoting customary tenure was crucial for securing legal rights to local forests. For instance, promoting tea tree tenure for the local Dao people in Sung village, Hoa Binh, and developing customary practices for langur conservation enhanced forest management. Value-chain enhancements for bamboo in Ke village and Shan tea in Sung village incentivized sustainable forest resource management through improved customary tenure practices. Moreover, where formal tenure rights were devolved to communities, CT Alliance members facilitated self-organization and governance using statutory law and local customs. These efforts aimed to align forest management with community values, securing tenure for local communities. However, challenges remained, such as improving benefit-sharing and village fund management in Hang Nam and Tul villages. Despite efforts from PanNature in engaging with villagers, significant changes were elusive, possibly due to project limitations in duration and resources. Similarly, securing long-term tenure rights in Sung village faced obstacles, with a temporary co-management agreement highlighting concerns about post-project sustainability for local authorities and the Da River PF-MB. Broader recommendations for sustainable community-based forest management in Vietnam include developing a national CBFM policy and implementing support programs. Currently, despite significant forest allocations to local communities, sustainability issues persist post-allocation, hindering effective forest conservation and development. Establishing a national CBFM Development Programme and reactivating the CBFM Technical Working Group under VNFOREST could enhance policy alignment and support for CBFM practices nationwide. Aligning CBFM with national and sub-national programs like PFES and NRAP/PRAP is also recommended to ensure sustained impacts beyond project timelines. ---
