Short
term recommendations that could also be affective include the startup of
independent community gardens and farmers markets to promote and showcase the
hard work of the Burmese people. Opening these gardens requires very minimal
cost and is a great form of employment for the unemployed. The resources that
are needed include small pieces of land and gardening tools which can be
provided by funding organizations such as the American Community Garden
Association in Burma. Burma has access to various types of plants so obtaining
seeds and plants for the gardens would not be an issue. The produce grown in
these gardens can also be sold to the citizens- providing them with cheap
healthy food.
This is a great idea and can relate back to ways to address food issues right here in our country, especially in high poverty areas.
