The Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, CARP, is the latest of several land reform programmes to be enacted in the Philippines. As with previous plans, CARP is based on the theory that traditional market mechanisms can be replaced by bureaucratic entities. CARP is also constrained by population growth, which has made it impossible for the majority of peasants to get adequate-sized farms under any system. The only realistic hope for rural improvement lies in industrialization and population limitation: Political pressures towards land reform are irresistible, but such measures will do less harm and offer more benefit if they utilize market forces and traditional structures. |
