Haiti's agricultural productivity has systematically declined over the past three decades due to a combination of factors including: terrain that is difficult to farm, prone to erosion, flooding and environmental degradation, and diminishing fresh water sources.
Feed the Future, the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative focuses on small holder farmers and supports partner countries in developing their agriculture sector to spur economic growth that increases incomes and reduces hunger, poverty and undernutrition.
The new program is modeled on the successful "Feed the Future West", a five-year program launched in 2009 that introduced better seeds and fertilizer, new farming technologies and improved infrastructure to support the growth of Haiti's agriculture. As a result, some 30,000 Haitian farmers increased their crop yields and raised their incomes from about $200 per hectare to more than $1,100 per hectare since the program's inception.为了改善海地经济状况、促进其农业生产、保障食品安全及营养、提高海地北部地区的人民收入水平,美国国际开发署(USAID)通过“保障未来粮食供给”计划,联合海地农业部在海地发起了一个新的农业发展项目——“保障北部未来粮食供给”(Feed the Future North)。
近30年来,在各种因素的影响下,海地的农业生产率逐年下降。这些影响因素包括:土地不宜耕种或易受侵蚀、洪水泛滥、环境恶化、淡水资源减少。
“保障未来粮食供给”是美国政府发起的针对全球饥饿问题和食品安全问题的计划。该计划以小农为重点,支援伙伴国发展农业以刺激经济增长,提高收入水平,缓解饥饿、贫困和营养不良等问题。
“保障北部未来粮食供给”这一新项目效仿了卓有成效的“保障西部未来粮食供给”计划。“保障西部未来粮食供给”是在2009年发起的一个五年计划,该计划引进了优良种子和肥料、新农业技术,并改善了基础设施来拉动海地的农业增长。受惠于此,粮食增产农民增收得以实现。该计划实施以来,大约3万海地农民的收入从每公顷200美元增加到了每公顷1100美元以上。
