The Agrarian Question as an Ecological Question in Latin America
Issue Editors:
Daniela GarcĂa Grandon
Andrew Smolski
Jan. 2024
Historically, the agrarian question in Latin America was primarily concerned with addressing the unequal distribution of land and rural poverty through redistribution. Different types of agrarian reform policies in the twentieth century, frequently with different goals, tried to dismantle large estates owned by a few wealthy elites and allocate the land among landless peasants, small-scale farmers, or Indigenous communities.
