GI support for land consolidation
Markus, Bela
In the 900s in parallel with the political changes, the transformation of the Hungarian agriculture has also been started. After the collapse of the command economy structures and state socialism, a returning to private ownership and farming through a third agricultural land reform was pursued as a potential remedy of the problems. The land reform has caused a significant change in the agricultural structure. The outcomes of the land privatisation affected more than half of the total area of the country and over 2,5 million new ownerships were created. Compensation and land privatisation resulted in inadequate land size and shape and a very fragmented distribution of plots belonging to one owner, failing to support viable family farming and competitiveness. As a result of the land privatisation, the previous farming-on-large-scale was replaced by the farming based on inadequate field size for sustainable and competitive family farming.
