Half lease

See under Métayage.

French term (dt. Halbpacht, Teilpacht) for the cultivation of land for an owner by someone who receives part of the product or harvest. This is an ancient form and was already enshrined in Roman law in antiquity. It proved useful after the Roman slaves were freed, as the newly freed peasants had neither land nor cash. This was also practised in Brazil and the USA when slavery was outlawed.
