He who is thinking about eradicating hunger in Haiti must also remember the following principle:
" When people are actively involved in deciding how resources are to be used, not only will they benefit but also production is likely to increase. Consider the Chinese experience. Through a series of innovations, the Chinese people have moved to ownership and control of the land directly by those work the fields. Work is determined by the production team, a village unit of 30 or 40 families. The result is a significant reduction in rural inequality:

The gap between the richest and poorest in the rural population in China is only one fourth as graet as in most Asian countries. food Production has climbed consistently and, as we have already noted, there has been no famine since at least the early 60's. In order further to increase agricultural production in the 1980's, the production team is taking on even greater authority over production. Similarly, according to a recent study of Cuban agriculture, the greater production successes of the 12970's are significantly related to greater popular participation in decision-making and responsibility.
