Policies on Agrarian Reform
Agrarian reform is essentially the rectification
of the whole system of agriculture, an
important aspect of the Philippine economy
because nearly half of the population in
employed in the agricultural sector, and most
citizens live in rural areas.
Agrarian reform is centered on the
relationship between production and the
distribution of land among farmers.
It is also focused on the political and
economic class character of the relations of
production and distribution in farming and
related enterprises, and how these connect to
the wider class structure.
Through this, the Philippines would be able to
gain more from its agricultural potential and
uplift the Filipinos in the agricultural sector,
who have been suffering in poverty and
discontent from the longest time.
