Description[?]:
| The DSP, while believing in some state ownership of farms to insure everyone has the basic sustenance, believes that both state and private farms should exist. This way we can keep our food programs that depend on the state farms running, but also allow economic growth by allowing private farms to sell agricultural items. This program will greatly help to improve the economy and overall well being of rural areas that are suffering do to lack of income sources. Furthermore the DSP believes that fishing should be allowed, but quotas enforced. This will not only enhance our economy and the economy of small coastal towns, but Will also ensure that the fish are still protected. Therefore the DSP proposes the following; -Strategic crops are produced on State owned farms. All other produce is left to the Private sector. -The government establishes fishing quotas. |

| Message | We're not proposing making the entire industry privatized, but allowing for private farms to exist as well as private fishing. By creating government monopolies on all the industries we do, we are essentially halting vast areas of our economy by taking away these jobs from people. |
