Submitted to: Submitted by:
Dean Lourdes Sabile Alejandrino Bantilan

For a long period of time, the agrarian system of Philippines was being controlled by the large landlords. The small farmers in Philippines were struggling for their rights to land and other natural resources. The implementation of Agrarian reforms proceeded at a very slow pace. This was due to the lack of political will. The redistribution of land was also very slow. Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Philippines The Republic Act No. 6657, alternatively called the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law was signed by President Corazon C. Aquino on 10th June, 1988.The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law is responsible for the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) in Philippines. The law focused on industrialization in Philippines together with social justice. The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law: Objectives. The primary objective of instituting the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform law was to successfully devise land reform in Philippines. It was President Arroyo, who signed the Executive Order No. 456on 23rd August to rename the Department of Land Reform as Department of Agrarian Reform. This had been done to expand the functional area of the law. Apart from land reform, the Department of Agrarian Reform began to supervise other allied activities to improve the economic and social status of the beneficiaries of land reform in Philippines.
CARP Meaning Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program of 1988, also known as CARP, is a Philippine state policy that ensures and promotes welfare of landless farmers and farm workers, as well as elevation of social justice and equity among rural areas.

    AGRARIAN DISCONTENT DBQ

    Between 1880-1900, farmers believed that the railroad companies were swindling away their profits and that the government favored big business. The farmers had every reason to feel some sort of discontent because of their predicament as well as the fact that the government saw a need for reform which created the notion that problems existed. Farmers were correct in arguing that the United States’ money supply was not what it should be; over 30 years the population nearly double while the money circulation rose by only 60 %( Doc C). Railroads had a monopoly on shipping which raised costs and affected profit, the value of crops deflated, and big business was a strong opponent to the much needed 'Free Silver Movement' that farmers were relying on.…

    Agricultural Revolution FRQ

    There were many different features of the Agricultural Revolution during the eighteenth-century. All of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution had effects both economically and socially. One of these things was crop rotation. Crop rotation led to the social effect of healthier animals and more of those animals which led to healthier people because of their improved diet. Economically crop rotation led to new crops that were ideal for feeding livestock, which made it easier to feed animals. This, in turn, made it a lot cheaper to feed animals and it allowed there to be larger herds of cattle which produced more meat, milk, animals for work, and more crops for people to buy and sell. Another feature of the Agricultural Revolution was the enclosure movement for fencing off private property which eventually led to proletarianization. Socially this made it so that the peasants no longer had access to the common land which meant that they no longer had a place to graze their livestock or farm. Economically this led to market-oriented estate agriculture where the wealthy own the land at it is worked by peasants in return for wages. A third aspect of the Agricultural Revolution was the improvement of farming techniques. Because of the population increase, an increase of farming was needed for both a needed increase in food production and employment opportunities. Socially the effects were that the English and Dutch became known for their new farming techniques and became models for other countries to base themselves after. Economically the new methods of farming resulted in more land being left open for use, better crop production and higher output of crops, and better quality livestock. A closer look at all three of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution shows how much they had an impact both socially and economically.…

    The Agrarian Manifesto

    Many state and local history sites and museums offer antiquated interpretations of local and state histories, their specificity mirrors early twentieth century Southern historical analysis, like that of the Twelve Agrarians, focused on an identity outside of the nation and based in romantic, nostalgic notions of regional, state, and local histories. However, key texts in the history and historiography of the twentieth century South, show that understanding the local and regional experiences requires an appreciation of individualism and broader national contexts. The Southern historiography of the twentieth century exemplifies the opportunity for expanding contextual narratives at historic sites and museums. Newer Southern histories place the…

The execution of the land reform proved to be extremely difficult as it was involving 6 million different families with a third having the motive to try obstruct the purpose of it, as stated in Dore, R.P, Land Reform in Japan 1956. The Japanese government and people both faced many challenges due to this factor, Challenges being the need for an increased workforce and increased funding in implementing it into Japanese society.

    The Agricultural Adjustment Act

    During World War I, England's agricultural economy was badly damaged. This inconvenience for the English was a blessing to American farmers. Since the invention of the combine, and various other mechanical harvesting machines, American farmers could increase their crop yield. In turn they could export the extra crops to England for more money. Once England got back on it's feet, American farmers could not find any exports for their crops. As they continued to produce more than the American people could consume, the prices of agricultural goods dramatically dropped. By the 1930's many farmers were in serious need of help, with heavy farm loans and mortgages hanging over their head's. Nothing had been done to help the farmer's during The Hoover Administration. So in 1933 as part of Roosevelt's New Deal, the Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace devised a plan to limit production and increase prices. Which came to be known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, also known as the AAA. The AAA was established on May 12, 1933 it was the New Deal idea to assist farmers during the Great Depression. It was the first widespread effort to raise and stabilize farm prices and income. The law created and authorized the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to: Enter into voluntary agreements to pay farmers to reduce production of basic commodities ( cotton, wheat, corn, rice, tobacco, hogs, milk, etc..), to make advanced payments to farmers who stored crops on the farm, create marketing agreements between farmers and middlemen, and to levy processing taxes to pay for production adjustments and market development. Basically the AAA paid farmers to destroy their crops and livestock in return for cash. In 1933 alone cotton farmers were paid $100 million to plow over their cotton crop. Six million piglets were slaughtered by the government after they bought them from farmers. The meat was canned and given to people without jobs. In order…

    What would happen if the government stood by and did nothing? People would get sick and people would die. We might complain about government, but when the going gets tough we look to the government to take care of us. I believe people like Franklin Roosevelt’s saw that. For when the world is burning all around you what do you do? Some will run, but others will fix the problems and show the world what it can do. For when you leave anything up to people they will let you down every time.…

    Agrarian Revolution. Essay

    When one considers the effect that the Industrial Revolutions of the 19th and early 20th century, the workers whose backs bore it are seldom reflected upon. It becomes ponderous whether the revolution was a boon or a malediction upon the working class and if they were truly aided by the great rise in standard of living that hallmarked this time. Those who would defend the period would cite pre-Industrialization scenarios, toiling under feudal lords with no future beyond death and an unmarked grave. An opponent of this idea, such as the renowned Karl Marx, would state, 'The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones.' (Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto)…
