Substantive agrarian policy
Substantive agrarian policy refers to government actions and strategies aimed at influencing agriculture and land use to achieve specific social, economic, or environmental goals. This includes efforts to improve land rights for farmers, ensure fair distribution of land resources, support small-scale farmers, promote sustainable farming practices, and enhance rural development. Unlike purely administrative rules, substantive policies focus on changing conditions and outcomes in the agricultural sector to promote equity, security, and sustainability. They shape how land and agricultural resources are managed to benefit farmers and rural communities while aligning with national priorities.
