HOWEVER LATE, the answer to rural anguish is to industrialize—so that somehow people get jobs and have money to buy food. SOIL EROSION brings MORE POVERTY.

When financed to the tune of 10 billion US, it can provide construction jobs. PPP might even reduce motivation for migration. Is PPP for poverty reduction, resource extraction or both? Why is birth control never mentioned ! ?
