La propiedad y la explotación de la tierra en Canarias durante el Antiguo Régimen son factores fundamentales para comprender la evolución histórica de su formación social. Las relaciones de producción, de acumulación de la propiedad agraria y la distribución de las rentas son algunos de los parámetros sobre los que descansa el sistema socioeconómico regional. Los contratos agrarios registrados en La Palma –arrendamientos, medianerías- se muestran como valiosas referencias para conocer los procesos de deforestación, de avance de la agricultura, de las transformaciones en la producción agraria, en la concentración de la propiedad o en la movilidad de la mano de obra campesina. Los acuerdos contractuales para la explotación de la tierra reflejan, en gran medida, la progresión de los procesos de profundización en el mundo agrario del sistema de complementariedad económica regional, de los efectos de las fluctuaciones del mercado exterior, sobre todo en referencia a la producción de vinos, o las tendencias del consumo en Canarias.
Property and the use of land in the Canary Islands under the previous regime are fundamental factors for understanding the historical evolution of their social formation. The relations of the factors of production, the accumulation of agricultural property and the distribution of wealth are some of the parameters on which the regional socio-economic system rests. The agrarian contracts on record in La Palma - leases, tenancy farming- are valuable references for discovering the processes of deforestation, the advance of agriculture, the transformation in ownership of agricultural lands, the concentration of ownership and the mobility of rural labour. The contractual agreements for working the land show, to a large extent, the progression of the processes of development of the agrarian world of the regional system of complementary economic advantages, the effects of the fluctuations in the overseas market, especially with regard to the production of wines and the consumer trends in the Canary Islands.
