ALZATE MORA, Daniel. Land concentration and Rural, Economic, and Social Development Interest Zones (Zidres) in los Montes de María, María La Baja and Carmen de Bolívar. Prolegómenos [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.46, pp.51-70. ISSN 0121-182X. https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.4309.
Land concentration in Latin America and in Colombia tends to grow. Despite the state´s effort to revert that trend, the land concentration phenomenon intensifies, specially, in those regions that have been strongly affected by the internal armed conflict, such as the “Los Montes de Maria”. Based on quantitative and qualitative information, the social and political context of María La Baja and Carmen de Bolívar is presented to analyze the agrarian structure, and the trend to higher land concentration is proven. From this information the relation such agrarian structure has with the development model of the Rural, Economic and Social Development Interest Zones (Zidres for its Spanish Acronym) approved by Law 1676 of 2016.
