Abstract

Subfamily farms (under 7 ha.) defined as too small to fully occupy the operator's family and to provide him with an adequate income, if worked traditionally, now number some 370, 000 in Guatemala. Access to new land and the distribution of production inputs and credit are limited. In the light of this situation some indirect and direct measures are described to reduce the relative importance of this subsistence group. A number of successful projects prove that there is a potential for improvement. T.A. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
