With an approval rating of 75%, President Juan Manuel Santos wants to return 16mn acres of land to peasants...equal to the state of West Virginia...taken during the war with FARC rebels.
Santos believes the high concentration of land has contributed to his nation's ills during its decades of conflict.
"We have been a country in conflict for so many years, so many decades, centuries even, that it's time for us to heal our wounds," he said.
