Implementing land reform

Transfering the ownership of income generating property to the rural poor in order to bring about more effective control and use of land and to directly benefit agricultural workers and the community as a whole.

1. Land reform creates a more equitable distribution of wealth for the rural population, preventing control by a small number of landowners.

    

2. Small farm agriculture can absorb more labour than large scale farms and thus help to absorb population growth.

1. Land reform results in the under-utilization of building and equipment. Most landless rural poor do not have the access to capital nor managerial skills to actually do productive farming. These result in decreasing food production and greater poverty.
