Farmers protesting for land reform in Indonesia, 2004

Land reform (also known as agrarian reform) involving the changing of laws, regulations, or customs regarding land ownership, land use, and land transfers.[1][2] The reforms may be initiated by governments, by interested groups, or by revolution.[3]

Land reform is often considered a contentious process, as land is a key driver of a wide range of social, political and economic outcomes.[4][5] The structure and distribution of land rights has been linked to state formation, economic growth, inequality, political violence, and identity politics, making land reform highly consequential for the long-term structures of society.[4]
