Farming

Farmers must farm. Farmers must be allowed to farm. Workers must work on farms under contracts of fair market-related terms.
Workers must be handled in a fair and professional manner and should be given the opportunity where appropriate to participate in the management process and ownership of the farm / farming enterprise.
Workforces on farms should as closely as possible be proportionally representative of the ratio of women and men in the local community from which the workers are drawn.
Equity in the workplace must be monitored from time to time by departmental Assessment Officers.
Attacks on farms and their occupants will not be tolerated, and will be responded to and immediately repelled by special units of the armed forces, selected, trained and stationed regionally for the express purpose of farm protection and reprisal.
Government must make all available land accessible to persons capable of acquiring and farming on such land, and shall also make funds and training available or arrange such in order to facilitate said capacity.
A scientifically-designed country-wide agro-geographical plan of farming types, capacities, quantities, demands, markets and trends must be created in order to facilitate adequate food production and distribution for local and export consumption.
