Large-scale land investments, household displacement, and the effect on land degradation in semiarid agro-pastoral areas of Ethiopia
Original language description
Agro-pastoral areas in Ethiopia have been targeted by large-scale land investments, particularly for the establishment of sugar plantations, since the 1970s. This has led to the displacement of local communities. We investigate the impact of this displacement due to large-scale land investment on land degradation in semiarid agro-pastoral areas in Ethiopia. We conducted a survey of 866 households in two agro-pastoral sites in Ethiopia in 2019, where extensive large-scale land investment was implemented. We use an endogenous (switching) treatment model to assess the effect of the displacement of households on land degradation. The result shows that 75% of the surveyed households experienced moderate-severe land degradation. Forestlands and grasslands are ranked as the most degraded areas. About 43,7% of the households face a reduction in herd size and 55,8% lost land due to large-scale land investment, while 86% of the households show a substantial decline in crops and livestock productivity due to la
