He removed debt-slavery so that they were not destroyed by poor seasons.
Tyrants gave land to the landless farmers
Solon paid off debts for farmers and freed slaves in ancient Athens.
Solon's role was to stop the exploitation of the small farmers against exploitation by the big landowners. Obviously this created friends and enemies. After his efforts, power to the oligarch re-emerged and the lower people turned to tyrants to balance the structure.
His reform affected only his city-state of Athens. He eliminated debt slavery, bought back the farmers who had been sold as slaves, established a more equitable balance between aristocracy and lower classes.

Tyrants gave land to the landless farmers
Solon faced the daunting task of improving the condition of debt-ridden farmers, laborers forced into bondage over debt, and the middle classes who were excluded from government. Solon had to help them while simultaneously avoiding alienating the increasingly wealthy landowners and aristocracy. Solon's solutions were, of necessity, compromises. Because of these reform compromises and other legislation, posterity refers to him as Solon the lawgiver.
