Discussion

Sp-EnTranslator (asker) Dec 13, 2006:
Juan el texto es de R. Dominicana, de una comunidad rural.
Juan Jacob Dec 13, 2006:
Eduardo propone "landlord", casi/casi terrateniente. No sé. Dinos de dónde es el término y quizá podamos ayudar. Suerte.
Juan Jacob Dec 13, 2006:
¿De dónde es esto? Sin saber mucho, yo diría que un campesino parcelero es aquel que tiene una parcela, es decir, un extensión de tierra, pero pequeña. Y no veo parcelero en el DRAE. En cambio, "aparcero" es muy común.

Association of Smallholders

ie.e, people who own small parcels of land. Stricly speaking, they are indeed 'landowners', but that word doesn't have quite the same connotations as 'smallholders'.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, at least, calls them 'smallholders': http://www.fao.org/docrep/006/j0415t/j0415t06.htm

agree Noni Gilbert Riley : Ah, yes. But does parcela necessarily mean a small plot?

association of landlords/landowners

soy de la opinión que cuando se habla de asociaciones se utiliza el orden semántico tal y como se usa en español.

agree Noni Gilbert Riley : Landowners, however small the plot of land (landlord would suggest renting out)
