The nation of Zimbabwe is in crisis. Despite divine endowments in natural wealth of land, wonderful climate and abundance of a hardworking population, there are no food reserves. Basic food items of bread, mealie meal and milk are being imported. The book recommends the systematic implementation of the constitutional provision of the ninety-nine (99) year lease, designing a Measured Agriculture Model, delivered through a Land Bank as part of the model. The recommended land tax, rebate and proposed lease clearing house will be components that help to fund the fiscus. The routine lease management under the care of a private sector smart partnership arrangement will be more efficient. The model measures the application of the rule of one farm per farmer and a host of other intended outcomes. This book is targeted at policy makers, strategic leaders, thinkers, academia, all Zimbabweans inside Zimbabwe and internationally as well as any other interested parties. The book is also intended to be useful across the continent of Africa and beyond.
