But ask yourself why Haiti is hungry? It is largely because an agricultural society can no longer feed itself. The environment has been degraded (deforestation) and is less productive. Coupled with chronic under-investment in the agricultural sector and an over-reliance on imports, it is a tough situation to be in - and one that will get worse without environmental protection. Reforestation is a first step which will also protect against natural disasters. Think of fruit trees and hardwood trees (people are less likely to cut them) as well as quick growing scrub and bamboo (which has plenty of uses). Seeing as how Christians are instructed to be stewards of the earth, addressing immediate deforestation in one's own community is a logical place to start.
