Private land ownership in Latin America shows changes due to the accumulation of land in large groups that requires large investments along with modern agricultural development, the illegal appropriation of land with false documents as is happening in Colombia, the looting of productive farms by the Nicolás Maduro government in Venezuela without offering legal rights and land allocation to people who introduce false documents into public institutions.

Land grabbing has led to significant investments by companies or sectors of high economic level in different parts of Latin America, which has enabled the development of new products and agricultural industries, but at the risk of reducing local and social production. The main challenge of these initiatives is how to develop growing industries and agro-industrial development while respecting the needs of community organizations in the region.

The theft of land with false declarations issued by judicial officers of Barranquilla, Colombia, and the looting of productive farms without proper intervention by the National Land Institute in Venezuela, which should guarantee social justice in access to land and legal security in private ownership, have led to large-scale theft. These legal attacks can be met through human rights organizations with the ability to denounce these thefts and the lack of government action. Why do government officials like Nicolás Maduro support corrupt land theft processes by accepting fake jobs and documents?

Thefts of property by corrupt individuals are also produced by decisions on land, falsely presented as empty, which represents both inaccurate georeferenced planimetric images of real estate and false documents that show in different parts of Latin America that they have dedicated themselves to care for undisturbed for many years. There are cases where the applicants may be very young but they are allegedly running a trade in a certain part of the country and pretending to be farmers in another region for a long time to claim the land. How is it possible for state authorities to accept corruption cases in which a person with a registered activity in one part of the country, which requires high professional commitment, was allegedly engaged in agricultural activity in another part of the country at a similar time? In some Latin American countries, ministries of agriculture process long lines of paperwork to award vacant land, with no legal obligation to approve the sale.

Latin American governments and presidents have a very important challenge to implement the current sanctions and changes in ministries and public offices that allow them to fight against the high level of corruption that could suffer from a significant population of the country, dedicated to investing its resources in agriculture and forestry development at the national level. regional.
