Small scale farming

Food is also a major problem in Haiti and of course to a stronger degree on La Gonave.  Most food products have to be imported in, and then distributed out to different towns and regions in Haiti by the government. 

Given the fractured state of the Haitian Government, economy, and infrastruture, many area get very little food.  One way to prevent this issue, is by creating a farm program.  Especially in the case of Gonave which suffers the most.

One idea would be to create farms that have a high yield and return.  Thing such as wheat, corn, beans, tomatoes, peppers, etc could be grown.  To have year round production, medium scale greenhouses can also be built to handle a more robust operation.  Other food items such as farm raised shrimp, catfish, salmon, carp, and tilapia are also things that can really help boost the food supply in Gonave, and with very little investment. 

Then food stalls and programs can be in place to distribute the food to the public in a food market type format that is very common in different parts of the world.
