La Reforma Agraria

La Reforma Agraria refers to a series of political and social reforms aimed at redistributing land in Mexico, primarily during the 20th century, following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). The government sought to break up large estates and redistribute land to peasant farmers, enhancing agricultural productivity and addressing rural poverty. It aimed to rectify historical injustices where land was concentrated in the hands of a few. While it successfully established many communal landholdings (ejidos), challenges including bureaucracy, lack of investment, and market access persisted, influencing Mexico's agricultural landscape and rural development for years to come.
