Abstract:

Mexico is not blessed by nature with the agricultural resources of other nations in North America, yet it does have the potential to significantly improve its food output. Property rights, free markets and competition will empower farmers with greater self-sufficiency and economic choice. The consequence will be not only an improved standard of living for Mexico’s poorest farmers, but a stronger Mexico.
