Verbs and expressions with de https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/de-vs-du-de-la-des-verbs/in the lesson, there is an example "Il s’agit de la réforme agraire"
the answer is given that With a modified, specific noun, use de + definite article.
The English translation is given as "It’s a question of land reform" which seems to me to be a non-specific noun.
Can anyone explain why land reform is a specific noun in this case, when in English it appears to be a non-specific noun in this case, i.e. a general question of land reform, not "It's a question of the land reform introduced in the 2017 amendments."
All the other specific noun examples appear to use the definite article in the English translation

Please help, I have struggled with lesson for awhile now.
I had written 'dans lequel', but received a wrong answer.

Why is 'où' the only answer here?
thank you. Jennifer
