Agrarian reform can refer either, narrowly, to government-initiated or government-backed redistribution of
agricultural land (see
land reform) or, broadly, to an overall redirection of the
agrarian system of the country, which often includes land reform measures. Agrarian reform can include
credit measures, training,
extension,
land consolidations, etc. The
World Bank evaluates agrarian reform using five dimensions: (1) price and market liberalization, (2) land reform (including the development of land markets), (3) agro-processing and input supply channels, (4) rural finance, (5) market institutions.
