Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre las causas de la concentración de la tierra en Colombia, y la importancia de la reforma agraria en su contribución al desarrollo en el contexto del actual Plan de Desarrollo “Prosperidad para Todos”.

Esta tesis aborda los fundamentos teÃricos de la reforma agraria. Uno de los fundamentos importantes de la reforma agraria es la especial de la propriedad de latierra en el capitalismo.

But measures such as decoupling income supports and price supports or reorienting research and extension could help farmers who cannot afford access to machinery and purchased inputs and services.Lopez, Nash, and Stanton report the results of a study of Mexican farm households using 1991 survey data and a smaller resurvey of some of the same households in 1993.One study goal was to empirically examine the relationship between assets and the output supply function.

The economy of post-apartheid South Africa continues to grow. Yet between 45 and 55 percent of the population remain in poverty.
