| description | This study investigated the effect of the fast track land reform in addressing the poverty
crisis in Masvingo district. The study targeted those rural residents who did not benefit
land during the fast track land reform. The target population was the poor people who
live in Masvingo area. The study triangulated the qualitative and quantitative research
designs. The theoretical framework of the study is the revisionist theory which suggests
that rural agriculture is a solution to the poverty crisis in rural communities. The study
concluded that the agro-based land reforms in Zimbabwe did not reduce household poverty
in Mushandike. The study recommended, among other things, the application of the
sustainable rural development framework for analysis model to improve the livelihoods
of the farmers who did not move over to occupy new land in the resettlement areas. |
