Rural Off-Farm Employment and Food Security Policies in Honduras

Chapter 8 in Agrarian Policies in Central America, 2000, pp 170-188 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Agricultural development policies in Honduras focused for a long time on issues of rural production and commercialization. Since the beginning of the land reform process in 1972, most attention has been dedicated to the redistribution of national land and the allocation of ample credit resources in order to stabilize the rural population in the countryside while controlling rural political unrest (Ruhl, 1984; Brockett, 1988). These policies culminated in the 1980s in a massive program of land titling — trying to establish stable property rights for small and medium farm households.
