Veiga, Jose Eli da
Instead of favoring a democratic way of occupation, the “Law of the Lands” (1850) in Brazil established that the transference of land from public to private domain could only be made in large pieces, and through cash payments. One of the intentions of the military dictatorship, which took power in Brazil in 1964 was to push to the limit the historically preferential option of the controlling elites for top down forms of agricultural production, thus generating one of the biggest agricultural exoduses in the history of humanity. The report contextualizes land reform policies, where rural development constitutes much more than only agricultural growth.
