To deepen insights into the nature and extent of land hunger in rural South Africa, the HSRC's Economic Performance and Development research unit (EPD) initiated a research programme where young emerging scholars and ethnographers from universities across South Africa were funded on a competitive basis to join HSRC research teams in district municipalities.
