Land, as it constitutes one of the bases of agricultural production, has a special position in the economic-judiciary surroundings ofstates. In Hungarian history, land ownership has undergone many radical transitions. The decade starting from the political and land regulationreform is a short time in land tenure. In spite of it, there have been several important changes in land ownership structure. In the 1970s and80s, large agricultural firms, especially co-operatives and state farms, were common in Hungary.

In the following article, I am going to review the laws regulating land ownership and land use in Hungary and in theEuropean Union.
