Agrarian structure

Agrarian structure refers to how land and resources are organized and distributed among individuals or groups within a rural area. It includes the size and ownership of farms, the relationships between landowners and workers, and the way farming activities are arranged. This structure influences productivity, social relationships, and economic opportunities in the countryside. A well-balanced agrarian structure can promote fair land access and sustainable development, while uneven distribution may lead to inequality and social conflict. Understanding this system helps in designing policies for equitable land use and rural development.
