Rural farmers in an unequal world: Land rights and food security for sustainable well-being

摘要

Farmers in Thailand are the country's food producers; yet, they are suffering from food insecurity. How can this paradox be resolved? Qualitative and quantitative data collected in two fanning communities in Nan, a northern province, shed light on the entangled land and food security challenges that farmers face in Thailand. This research illustrates how land and the legal rights over it are crucial factors for agricultural production and income. Sustainable food security is only possible with ensured land security.
