Large areas of -81- land must be open up, and aid must be given to young farmers to acquire their own -82-. The effort must start from schools, where students need to be taught both -83- of crops as well as animal -84-. To make land available to more people, the land -85- practices in most parts of the nation need to be revised. Above all, -86- should be generated through loans with reasonable -87- rates.
