# CD.FR.03 LandTenureEnum

This code directory lists the various arrangements and rights under which farmers operate their farms. Understanding the complexities of land tenure arrangements, the list expands upon the [World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2020](https://openknowledge.fao.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/c5afd226-08ab-4cda-bc45-871f1f95a3be/content) (Item 0203) by incorporating additional land tenure types that are essential for a holistic understanding of land tenure options. This code directory references land access to land options, as outlined in [Section 3.25 of the FAO Land Tenure Studies](https://www.fao.org/4/y4307e/y4307e05.htm#bm05.1).<br>
