La tenencia de la tierra en la costa Atlántica y la reforma agraria

This article is based on three previous studies about land tenancy in the regions covered by the Integrated Rural Development Program (DRI) of Córdoba (1986), Sucre and Atlántico (1987). It discusses the main ideas, concerning the agrarian reform, found in these studies, as follows: 1. the reform should affect property of all sizes belonging to big landowners; 2. it is necessary that this reform plan include fertile and well located properties; 3. previous to the redistribution reform it is desirable to enforce tax on unimproved land and to stabilize land prices on the zone covered by the reform plan; 4. the reform plan should give priority to the welfare of small landowners (instead of wage-earners who don't possess land).
