Resumen
Descripción
This note recounts that by the early
2000s, the Government of Mexico and the Secretariat of
Agrarian Reform, in particular, had come to see investment
in "the more dynamic young segment of the population
endowed with more human capital" as the key to
revitalizing the moribund rural economy of the
country's social sector. Approaching this objective
programmatically would entail establishing a land fund from
which to lend to young farmers, and creating effective
incentives for older landholders to transfer their land.
Careful analysis would be required, including examination of
social welfare schemes, to assure that senior landholders
who transfer their land to younger counterparts could do so
without relinquishing their security. By 2006, the program
had been deemed a success and had become an example for all
of Mexico.
