Agrarian reform involves redistributing agricultural land from large landowners to small farmers and reforming related institutions. It aims to rectify inequities in land distribution and promote rural development. Key aspects of agrarian reform include land redistribution, improving agricultural productivity, reducing poverty, increasing rural incomes and living standards, generating employment, and creating more equitable conditions for rural populations. Effective agrarian reform serves as a precursor to stronger rural economies and overall economic development by increasing agricultural output and incomes.
