Irish agrarian reform

Irish agrarian reform refers to a series of changes aimed at improving land ownership and agricultural practices in Ireland, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It addressed issues like tenant rights and land distribution, often in response to social and economic inequalities. Key initiatives included the Land Acts, which helped tenants purchase land from landlords, thus promoting ownership and reducing poverty. These reforms aimed to empower Irish farmers, improve living conditions, and foster a more equitable agricultural system, ultimately contributing to the development of modern Irish society.
