Countries including Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, and Uruguay were once considered the poorest in the American continent. Till two decades earlier, they faced extreme hunger and food shortages.
One of the major reason for the situation is common as the entire world has i-e incompetent rulers and lack of planning. But an alliance of these five countries has existed since the beginning, just like ours, in the name of SAARC. Therefore, the annual summit of that alliance, which was held twenty years ago, proved to be historic. The decisions that taken in it are as follows:
(a). Protection of fertile and cultivable land, meaning no construction should be allowed there.
(b). Regular distribution and ownership of cultivable land, meaning giving a farm of about fifty kanals to each person.
(c). Growing forests on very (less fertile) land.
(d). Building houses and other constructions on absolutely (barren land).
Whoever has two or four kanals of agricultural land and is sitting there, should not cultivate it. If he has one or two fields, he should buy them from him and add them to the farm of fifty kanals. And some should be given houses in the city in exchange for these fields. Then, these countries have started doing this. The shortage of food, meat, eggs, and vegetables and fruits was eliminated soon.
For example, when the local council gives an agricultural farm to a person, along with this instruction and these strict instructions, otherwise the farm will be taken away, stating that:
(i): This farm is your property, but it can’t be inherited to your children. Only the child who has a minimum degree in agriculture will be called the owner of the farm and will run it by giving equal amounts to the other siblings.
(ii): As the owner of this farm, it is mandatory for you to have ten cows, thirty goats and one hundred birds, i-e chickens, on the farm.
(iii): Instead of a brick or stone wall to make the boundaries of the farm, it will be made of rows of fruit trees.
(iv): And as the owner of the farm, it is mandatory for you to allocate a small part of the farm for vegetables. 5: And at the end of each year, the council representatives will come to your farm and inspect each item to see if the required number of items is complete or not. The production and health of the animals will also be checked.
(e): If the target is met, then fine – if it is less, then help will be provided.
And warning was also given
(f): But if the production exceeds the target, an electric tractor will be awarded which will also run on diesel etc. but will usually be charged with electricity and will meet all agricultural needs
In the year 2020, the annual meeting of the heads of these countries was held online and an agricultural champion country from the other side of the world, Australia, participated as an observer guest. All countries expressed happiness at crossing this self-sufficiency.
While considering Australia’s proposal as very healthy, it was made part of the program. Australia’s proposal was that
Just as it is allowed to build rooms for animals and chickens in every farm, the owner should be allowed to build a house at the beginning of the farm so that he can perform better
But he can generate electricity himself by installing solar panels on the roof of the house
And he will be obliged to set up a dung gas plant to produce gas
Also, the used water of the house will be collected and used for irrigation
Now you can imagine that with just one government step, vegetables, fruits and pulses Flour, rice, milk, meat and eggs were also obtained, employment was also provided, gas and electricity were also produced.
