Sharecropping


 

Sharecropping or sharefarming is a system of farming in which farmers work a parcel of land which they do not own, in return for a fraction of the parcel's crop production. The system occurred extensively in colonial Africa, came into use in the United States during the Reconstruction era (1865-1876), and is used in many rural poor areas today, notably in India.
