Editing Corporate farming (section)

==Europe==
Family farms across Europe are heavily protected by EU regulations, which have been driven in particular by French farmers and the French custom splitting land inheritance between children to produce many very small family farms.   In regions such as [[East Anglia]], UK, some [[agribusiness]] is practiced through company ownership, but most large UK land estates are still owned by wealthy families such as traditional [[aristocrats]], as encouraged by favourable inheritance tax rules.

Most farming in the [[Soviet Union]] and its [[Eastern Bloc]] satellite states was [[Collective farming|collectivized.]] After the dissolution of those states via the [[revolutions of 1989]] and the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], decades of decollectivization and land reform have occurred, with the details varying substantially by country.
