Yes I agree, I think what was proposed back then was to give farmers the equipment they need, we can do that now, ask what they NEED and then get donations of that equipment to send over.

Kinda like in crisis situations we have storage of shelters, food, water, etc that can be flown out to disaster zones (including Maui for example) and get help on the ground. But yes, the help needs to be local. I think oxfam et al do have people on the ground in those communities and recruit locally so help is sensitive to the needs, cultures of the people being helped.
