Description

Law 2539 of 2025 amends Law 160 of 1994 and Decree Law 902 of 2017 to explicitly include rural youth in the National System of Agrarian Reform and Rural Development. The law guarantees and prioritizes their progressive access to land, to productive projects aligned with their life plans, to sustainable rural productive activities, academic and technical training, financing mechanisms and associativity. It also secures their participation in territorial governance bodies, creates a specific budget tracer for rural youth, promotes innovation, the use of ICTs, cultural rootedness and special measures for young people who are victims of armed conflict, thereby contributing to comprehensive rural reform with a territorial, generational and ethnic approach.
