Republic Act No. 6657

Republic Act No. 6657, known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL), was enacted in the Philippines in 1988 to promote social justice and development by redistributing agricultural land to landless farmers. It aims to provide farmers with ownership of the land they work on, improve their living conditions, and support agricultural productivity. The law sets procedures for land acquisition, distribution, and support services such as credit, training, and assistance. Overall, it seeks to address land inequality, empower farmers, and foster equitable growth in rural areas.
