But don't you guys agree it's good initiative, better this than nothing.
You have to clear up the squatter farmer issue and return the land to its proper owners.
93,000 farms will never, ever, amount to anything but sustenance farming.
Clear up the squatters, get the land farmed in 30+ acre tracts, and then Haiti can trade on the global market in a competitive way.
1 - 4 acre tracts will never generate enough revenue to invest in mechanized equipment nor fertilizers, herbicides, etc.
It will keep Haiti dirt poor and rural.
Exactly the way the NGO system wants it.
