The effects of climate change are putting people at risk of numerous drawbacks. Extreme weather events like floods, droughts, and storms, as well as armed conflict and economic collapse, are preventing most people from achieving sustainable livelihoods. However, in rural livelihoods land tenure has been a bottleneck to the adoption of climate-smart agriculture for sustainable livelihoods. This research aims to investigate how land tenure systems, and other institutional factors affect the adoption of low-emission food systems practices (agricultural and food production methods that are designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduce their impact on climate change while fostering food security). in. By examining the influence of land tenure and other institutional factors on LEFS adoption, the study seeks to identify the mechanisms through which secure land tenure, land size, equitable resource access, collaborative land governance, and climate-conscious land use planning contribute to the implementation of LEF practices. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the role of land tenure in promoting sustainable livelihoods and resilient agricultural systems in the context of climate change.
