Agrarian reform most often refers to transfer from ownership by a relatively small number of wealthy (or noble) owners with extensive land holdings (e.g. plantations, large ranches, or agribusiness plots) to individual or collective ownership by those who work the land. Agrarian reform usually refers to government-initiated or government-backed redistribution of — i.e. transfer of ownership of (or tenure in) — agricultural land.
