Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law

The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) is a law in the Philippines designed to redistribute land from large landowners to landless farmers, promoting equitable land ownership and rural development. It aims to improve farmers' access to productive land, which should lead to increased agricultural productivity and poverty reduction. The law also provides support services such as technical assistance, credit, and infrastructure to help beneficiaries effectively farm the land. Essentially, CARL seeks to create a fairer farming system by ensuring land is used efficiently and benefits those who work it.
