Land Reform in Colombia Expands Farmer Ownership
A peaceful agrarian revolution has transferred over 7.5 million acres to farmers. Since 1961 Colombia created the Agrarian Reform Institute to promote title transfers and ongoing land reform, aided by U.S. AID with over 18.5 million dollars in supervised credit and technical help. By 1969 about 80,000 families were purchasing farms as part of the program, raising incomes as ownership replaces sharecropping and crowded plots.
