Agrarian reform in the interfaces of Ignácio Rangel and Caio Padro Júnior

rural development in question

Abstract

Since the mid-twentieth century, the agrarian issue and agrarian reform have been at the center of debates on social and economic reforms related to rural workers. In this sense, this paper aims to revisit the Brazilian agrarian issue and agrarian reform, articulating the analyses of Ignácio Rangel and Caio Padro Junior, authors who have focused on the proposed theme. Although the authors have different theoretical bases and interpretations, they present a project of transformation of the Brazilian rural areas; this transformation is still necessary for the current Brazilian political and economic condition. Based on a bibliographical review of these two authors, as well as of related researchers, it is possible to highlight that agrarian reform is necessary today, but it requires adequate public policies to be carried out to mitigate the existing problems in Brazilian society.
