Agrarian Reform And Rural Poverty: A Case Study Of Peru

by Tom Alberts

Overview

Initiated in 1969 after the establishment of Velasco Alvarado's military government, Peru's program for agrarian reform remains one of the few enduring examples of major planned reform in Latin America. Based on extensive data for land ownership, income distribution, and agricultural production, this book assesses Peru's experience with development planning since 1950 and discusses efforts to improve the standard of living of its rural population through changes in agrarian structure.
