Latin Cadastres

After the 2016 Latin cadastres conference several Fit-For-Purpose pilots were started, like here in a post-conflict area of Colombia. Land titling is a very strong instrument to support a peaceful society. Land administration may also contribute to food security and prevention of deforestation.
