What is the difference

between Land Reform


and Agrarian Reform?
What is Reform??
• Reform is a word that means to improve or rectify a present situation,
political or social system, or even an institution. It is mostly a government or
authority initiated improvement that aims to bring changes in the lives of its
people. The word is inextricably associated with agriculture and land usage
and thus we have agrarian reform and land reform. Many people tend to
think of both as same and use the terms interchangeably. However, there are
differences between land reform and agrarian reform that will be talked
about in this article.
What Agrarian Reform ?

Agrarian reform includes land reform and also addresses education and
training of farmers for better produce and marketing, rural credit, easier access
to markets, and so on.
What is Land Reform?

• • Land reform is a term that was used earlier to bring about changes in the
ownership of land, in rural areas.
• • Land reform was initiated by governments to achieve their social and
political objectives and also to bring about changes in the lives of the poor
landless peasants.
