Land Reform for Human Race

Research Paper Proposal

I learned about “Biodiversity: Sustaining Soils and Producing Food” in Core class, so I was interested in land reform. Land reform is a change in the system of land ownership, especially when it involves giving land to the people who actually farm it and taking it away from people who own large areas for profit. Land reform can create new kinds of profits with estate use, land adjustment, and land improvement. According to Bruce’s article (2005), “El Charcote, a British cattle ranch in central Venezuela, has been singled out by the government as the launch-pad for its new push towards land reform” (para. 1). Land reform can be helped people who want to need land and land conservation. Knox (2003) reported that “Land reform has been one of the totems of the Scottish Parliament since its inception that it should finally give the land of Scotland back to the people of Scotland” (para. 3). In fact, land reform is against the spirit of democracy among some people today.

In my paper, I plan on writing that because land reform is one of solutions about various problems of estate. First of all, land reform is a good solution to the problem of limited land use because it makes the best use of land. Next, because land reform is possible in both productivity effects and land development, it should be enforced. In addition, land reform can stabilize the value of land because nowadays everything is becoming the object of speculation. Finally, land reform makes economic growth, so it is a good policy for human race.

I have found some articles that give land reform’s efficiency, advantages and disadvantages. In addition, I have found useful websites that will help me talk about the situations in countries that have adopted land reform programs.
