    La Ley de Desarrollo Agrario parte de un supuesto básico: el fracaso del proceso de reforma agraria y la necesidad de impulsar una vía capitalista empresarial en el agro. Es por ello que no se permite siquiera nombrar la reforma agraria donde el principal problema es la estructura de la tenencia de la tierra.

    The study establishes the link between agricultural labor productivity and natural resources variables at the national level in Honduras. We show through spatial analysis of productivity and natural resources that the relationship between natural resource conditions and agricultural productivity is not as direct as one can imagine. Length of the rain)" season has a strong and quasi linear relation with income. Soil has little impact on productivity as well as slope and altitude since coffee production in the mountain has a strong relation on productivity.

We need decent government, trained government, with capacity at all levels. We need legal systems that work.

    United States of America

    Facing the general trend towards larger but fewer farms since 1935, the US government implemented a protective safety net for small farmers during 1933-96 which did not halt it but incurred market distortions and other drawbacks. It then switched to market oriented measures in 1996 which have made small farmers more exposed to market risks. A suitable solution to both preserving small and strengthening large farms has not been found.
