In Latin America, land reform aimed to address the inequality in land ownership and provide a greater level of equality within the country. It involved redistributing land from large landowners to peasants and indigenous communities. One example of successful land reform was in Bolivia, where the Agrarian Reform Decree in 1953 granted titles to about 185,000 peasant families, giving them an average of 20 hectares of land each. While there was a slight decrease in national agricultural output due to more produce being used for home consumption and informal trading, the reform aimed to benefit the majority of rural families.

Land reform in Latin America aimed to redistribute land to promote social equity, particularly benefiting peasants and indigenous groups. Notable reforms occurred in Mexico, Bolivia, and Guatemala during the 20th century, addressing historical inequities caused by colonial land ownership systems. While land reform achieved some successes in reducing land concentration and providing legal titles, it also faced significant challenges and disruptions in agricultural production.
