What is agrarian?
The term agrarian means everything linked to country life and rural economic exploitation: planting and growing plants, raising animals, harvesting fruits, etc. These aspects are commonly referred to as the agriculture.
The agricultural world It is as old as humanity itself. The discovery of agriculture and the domestication of the first animals are foundational aspects of our civilization, and therefore date back to prehistory. Agriculture was an essential component of the first sociopolitical regimes and continued to be so until the Middle Ages.
However, since the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, the model of human productivity shifted fundamentally towards the cities, generating a mass exodus from agricultural regions, which sentenced them to impoverishment or latifundia.
Since then, the need for a agrarian reforma term by which the set of political, economic, social and legal measures that must be taken in a country or a region is known to promote agricultural development, democratizing land ownership and improving the living conditions of those who cultivate it. This, however, has not been able to become a reality in all countries.
There is also an agrarian right, in most legislations, which contemplates all the legal and legal provisions that regulate agricultural life and that contemplate the way in which a nation decides to formally handle these matters.
The possibility of the existence of agricultural cooperatives, agricultural associations, agrarian societies and other similar forms of rural organization is contemplated there. The agrarian is, in principle, contrary to the urban as a concept.
