En los años sesenta en Colombia muchos políticos todavía creían que los aumentos en la producción agrícola requerían grandes unidades de producción intensivas en capital y Berry mostró que el empleo y la producción podrían aumentar si la tecnología y otros insumos fueran entregados a fincas medianas y pequeñas. Estas ideas apoyaban políticas de reforma agraria, siempre y cuando generaran unidades productivas de tamaño suficiente. Berry también discutió la inevitabilidad de resolver la pobreza extrema en el área rural a través de la migración urbana rural, dado que dado el gran número de granjas con tierras insuficientes para garantizar un ingreso decente, se solicitó la migración para aumentar los salarios rurales.

In the nineteen sixties in Colombia many politicians still believed that increases in agricultural production required capital intensive large production units, and Berry showed that employment and production could increase if technology and other inputs were delivered to medium and small farms.
These ideas supported policies of land reform, as long as it generated productive units of sufficient size. Berry also discussed the inevitability of solving extreme poverty in the rural area through rural urban migration, since given the large number of farms with insufficient land to guarantee a decent income, migration was called for to increase rural wages.
