Command agriculture is a contract farming scheme necessitated by land redistribution that ruptured Zimbabwe’s sources of resilience, distorted credit access, heightened tenure insecurity, and spiked vulnerability to droughts. Using qualitative analysis of extant literature, this article rationalizes the program’s nobility of cause but argues that the program alone cannot revamp agriculture. Notwithstanding how the program has evolved, revamping agriculture also encompasses policies that address fiscal prudence and macroeconomic resilience. Equally important is agricultural training that fosters skills and technologies that are not only climate-responsive but also meet the demands of the constantly evolving agrarian value chain.

指挥农业和粮食安全:在津巴布韦的后快速轨道土地重新分配时代对国家干预的质疑
指令农业是土地重新分配所必需的合同农业计划,该计划破坏了津巴布韦的复原力来源,扭曲的信贷渠道,加剧的土地使用权不安全性和加剧的干旱脆弱性。通过对现有文献的定性分析,本文使该计划的原因贵族合理化,但认为该计划本身不能改造农业。尽管该计划是如何发展的,但改造农业还包括解决财政谨慎和宏观经济弹性的政策。同样重要的是,农业培训应培养不仅适应气候变化的技能和技术,而且满足不断发展的农业价值链的要求。
