"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on land degradation in this country, I am happy that that problem has been addressed in this Policy Document. It has been tackled very well. Land has been misused, abused and mismanaged in this country. Arable land is no longer of any use to the farmer because in order for the land to be beneficial to you, it must be of a reasonable size. If you own a quarter of an acre, have a building on it and a small shed for your cattle, what is left to grow maize or vegetables? This has reduced the usefulness and the value of agricultural land to nearly zero. This is responsible for the food insecurity in this country today. While the population is rising, the value of land in terms of food production is going down because of fragmentation of land. Every time land is fragmented, someone must have a concrete building on it and that reduces the space that one needs or we need for food production."
