Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (Philippines)

The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) in the Philippines is a law enacted in 1988 to redistribute land from wealthy landowners to landless farmers. Its goal is to promote social justice and improve rural living conditions by giving farmers ownership of the land they work. The law includes providing support services such as credit, technical assistance, and infrastructure to help farmers succeed after acquiring their land. Overall, CARL aims to reduce inequality, foster sustainable agriculture, and ensure fair access to land for Filipino farmers.
