Land, agriculture, and the 350 acres

The Grenadian government granted 350 acres of land in the Victoria area to the Rastafari community. Over the decades, this was reduced to approximately 5 acres through a combination of internal mismanagement and political manipulation.

What lessons should we carry forward from this history?
