Latifundia, a term derived from Latin, refers to large estates owned by individuals or families, commonly worked by enslaved laborers in ancient Rome. This landholding system contributed to economic inequality and significantly impacted agricultural practices. The concept persisted into the colonial era in Latin America, influencing land distribution and ownership.
