Agrarian system
Agrarian System
The Agrarian System (pronunciation: /əˈɡrɛərɪən/ 'sɪstəm) is a socio-economic structure that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of agricultural goods and services. The term is derived from the Latin word ager meaning "field" and systema meaning "an organized scheme or method".
History
The Agrarian System has its roots in the Neolithic Revolution, where humans transitioned from a nomadic hunting-gathering lifestyle to a settled farming one. This led to the development of agrarian societies, which were the precursors to modern agricultural systems.
Types of Agrarian Systems
There are several types of Agrarian Systems, including:
- Feudal System: A system where land is owned by a lord and worked by serfs or vassals in exchange for protection.
- Plantation System: A system where large estates are worked by laborers, often slaves, to produce cash crops.
- Collective Farming: A system where land and resources are owned and managed collectively by a community or state.
Agrarian Reform
Agrarian Reform refers to the redistribution of land from the wealthy to the poor, often carried out by governments in an attempt to address social and economic inequalities.
