The Agrarian Question and Sucession Process in the Amazon
Luciana Bernardes Vasquez & Elyson Ferreira de Souza
In recent years, Brazil has gone through an important period of economic growth, with significant improvement in social indicators (VASQUEZ, 2016), however, the land situation, rural and urban, remains precarious. The land of the country is a serious problem since its occupation and is characterized by a high level of conflict and tension (REYDON, 2000). The high concentration of land ownership remains, despite recent efforts towards democratization of land through land reform policy. This high concentration of land is one of the main sources of social and economic inequality in the country, and a significant part of its rural poverty (REYDON, 2011). According to data of the agricultural census (IBGE, 2006), participating in a total area of 50% smaller agricultural establishments still in the range of 2.3%, while the 5% larger establishments totaled more than 69.3% of the total land, confirming the extremely high degree of concentration of land in the country, despite extensive land reform not modified the country's agrarian structure.
