520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "The agriculture and economy of the Asian and Pacific region are receiving considerable attention from all over the world. I believe that this is not only because of the importance of the region, in terms of population size and land area, but because of the dynamic socio-economic changes towards modernization which are now taking place. In this process of change, one of the most important problems is the need to adjust patterns of land tenure.<br/>Because land ownership is of such fundamental importance in determining both the level of agricultural production and the degree of social equity, nearly all countries in the region have based their land law on the principle 'land belongs to the tiller'. This principle has in some cases been very difficult to put into practice, and those countries which have used it as a basis for successful land tenure reform are faced with a massive number of small farms. Their small size gives rise to serious problems in carrying out any program of economic development.<br/>The papers in this book were first presented by their authors at a Seminar on Adjustment of Small Farm Development and Land Tenure Systems in Asia, jointly sponsored by the Land Reform Training Institute, the Council for Agricultural Planning and Development, and the Food and Fertilizer Technology Center for the Asian and Pacific Region (all of Taiwan R.O.C). A number of papers presented at the seminar emphasized the economic development of small farms in Asia, and these have been published separately by the Center elsewhere. The papers in this volume are concerned with land tenure and land reform, and we hope it will make a useful contribution to this very important problem." - T. C.
