Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP)

The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) in the Philippines aims to promote social justice and support rural development by redistributing agricultural land to landless farmers and improving their living conditions. Launched in 1988, it seeks to give farmers ownership of land they till, ensuring they have rights to cultivate and improve it. CARP also includes support services like access to credit, training, and infrastructure development. The program seeks to reduce poverty, enhance food security, and empower rural communities, contributing to more equitable economic growth in the agricultural sector.
