Description

The law set national principles and rules for land policy, including land use and rural development goals. It became a foundational reference for agrarian policy and land governance in Brazil. The statute influenced how the state approaches rural property, productivity, and land-related regulation. It is widely treated as one of Brazil’s most important rural policy laws from that period.
