Bolivian agrarian reform

Bolivian agrarian reform refers to a series of government initiatives, primarily from the 1950s to 1970s, aimed at redistributing land and improving agricultural practices. The 1953 agrarian reform law sought to break up large estates owned by a few wealthy families and redistribute land to landless peasants. This was intended to promote social equality, increase agricultural productivity, and empower marginalized communities. The reform faced challenges, including resistance from elites and difficulties in implementation, but it significantly transformed Bolivia's rural landscape and aimed to improve the livelihoods of many small farmers.
