  • Planting Now (2Nd Edition): Revitalizing Agriculture For
    162 OXFAM BRIEFING PAPER 15 OCTOBER 2012 Kenise Lainé, is a member of Development of Haitian Women (OREFHA), an Oxfam partner and one of the first organizations to experiment with the agroecological system of rice intensification (SRI) in the Artibonite Valley. © 2011 Brett Eloff/Oxfam America PLANTING NOW (2ND EDITION) Revitalizing agriculture for reconstruction and development in Haiti Agriculture in Haiti has suffered three decades of crisis and institutional neglect. Nevertheless, almost 60 percent of Haitians live in rural areas and rely on farming for their livelihoods. For that reason, agriculture must play a central role in post-earthquake reconstruction. However, the plans and programs of the Haitian government and the international community have proven insufficient to revitalize the sector and improve conditions for small-scale farmers, and have failed to recognize the important roles of women in agriculture. The Haitian government and the main actors in agriculture should continue to prioritize agricultural development, while putting greater emphasis on long-term programs to assist Haitians to get back on their feet and improve their living conditions with dignity. www.oxfam.org SUMMARY The devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 exacerbated the country‘s grinding poverty and serious development problems, while at the same time worsening Haitian living conditions. The tremor killed over 250,000 people and injured 300,000. It crippled the economy, causing losses estimated at almost 120 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Nevertheless, economic growth is expected to rise between 7 and 9 percent in 2012,1 largely owing to reconstruction efforts. The population in internally displaced persons camps has decreased from 1.5 million to around 390,000 (according to the June 2012 report of the International Organization for Migration),2 and the country‘s hurricane preparedness capacity has increased.
