Promoting development and land reform on South African farms

Title: Promoting development and land reform on South African farms
Description: A policy paper analyzing the integration of land reform with social development on commercial farms. It critiques the "brutal past" of farm labor relations and introduces the Land Bank’s "Social Discount Product"—a financial incentive for farmers to improve worker conditions. The authors argue that since redistribution only reaches a minority, broad-based "farm-based development" is essential for systemic poverty alleviation.
