随着人口的增加以及城镇化、工业化进程的不断加快，农业用地人均面积减少以及细碎化程度增加不仅影响了农业经营规模，而且影响了土地产权的不稳定和不安全。近年来，中国在通过土地整理实现农业生产效率的提高等土地可持续利用管理领域取得了较大成效，这为发展中国家提供土地整理实现粮食安全提供了宝贵经验。
中国和埃塞同为发展中国家，两国在农业生产经营制度以及土地制度等安排上有相似之处。中国土地整理能为埃塞提供哪些有益借鉴？影响两国小农户农业生产效率的因素有哪些不同？本书旨在研究中国和埃塞小农户参与农业土地整理以及对土地细碎化的意识、感知和适应意愿，从而为两个研究区域的土地资源可持续利用和管理提供有用的决策信息。
本书可供从事土地管理领域的广大研究人员、从事土地资源可持续利用管理的国土、农业等部门工作人员参考。
