Bhutan\u2019s difficult terrain means that only 7 percent or 664,000 acres of our total land is usable<\/h3>\r\n \r\n
We must ensure that this small amount of land is put to the best use for the benefit of our people. Many of our people continue to depend directly on land for their livelihood.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

The people, especially the young, have been leaving their villages for towns in greater numbers. I am deeply concerned that they will encounter unemployment and other difficulties in urban areas, and begin to despair.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Notwithstanding the initiatives undertaken and impetus provided on fallow land reversion, the progress in the field on this front is not as expected.\u00a0 Farmers continue to leave their lands fallow owing to the constraints already highlighted above coupled with inadequate favorable policy measures<\/span>. <\/span>There is therefore a need to introduce and implement creative ideas to collaborate, coordinate, forge partnerships and propose strategic measures to revert privately owned fallow land to productive agricultural use. One such approach is a government-facilitated fallow land bank (FLB) which will help those who own land but cannot unable to cultivate on their own and those with interest to cultivate but don\u2019t own land.\u00a0 The FLB will be implemented for agricultural purposes covering crops, livestock and forestry activities only and will not have any implication on the existing customary land lease practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
