Popis: Several theories postulate that private ownership of land is necessary to encourage investment and adoption of new technologies. However, empirical studies do not always confirm those theories, as the case with the present study, conducted in the Zoghmar community, located in the semi-arid region of Tunisia. Statistical analyses suggest that land tenure conditions are unrelated to alternative production systems and to the community's socio-economic dynamics. Several production systems were identified in the community but no statistically significant relationships were established between alternative types of land tenure and production systems. Moreover, net farm income did not seem to be related to land tenure, nor to alternative farming systems. However, the way farmers acquired their land did show a slight relationship with net farm income.
