Irrigated land tenure in Cambodia. What are the perspectives for smallholder farmers?

This report presents a study conducted between March 2000 and May 2022 that examines land tenure issues revolving around irrigation systems in Cambodia. It is part of the knowledge production efforts of COSTEA. It includes: i) a description of the irrigation systems characterized according to their biophysical environment and agricultural production outcomes, ii) an overview of land tenure regimes in irrigation contexts, iii) the institutional framework governing irrigated land tenure and the way it is implemented, iv) five cases studies that illustrate how irrigation intersects locally with agrarian change, and v) a discussion on key themes in irrigated land tenure.
