Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of agrarian policies, in particular those policies towards land reform aimed at reducing poverty and extreme rural poverty in Brazil; in this study, the latest census data was used to examine the characteristics of the rural population and the agrarian structure in Brazil, which allowed an assessment of different poverty lines; moreover, new paths to improve public policies aimed at reducing human misery in rural areas are recommended. 

Keywords: Poverty line; Extreme Poverty; Land Reform; Land Tenure Regularization; Small land.
