Land reform refers to the process of changing the laws and regulations governing land ownership and use. It often aims to redistribute land from large landowners to smaller farmers or landless individuals, promoting more equitable access to land resources. This can help improve agricultural productivity and reduce poverty in rural areas. Land reform can take various forms, including land redistribution, land tenure security, and support for smallholder farmers. Countries like Brazil and South Africa have implemented land reform policies to address historical injustices and promote social equity. Successful land reform can lead to improved livelihoods and sustainable development.
