SPIN is a non-technical, easy-to-understand and inexpensive-to-implement farming system that removes the 2 barriers to entry - capital and land. You don't need to own much, or any land, to practice SPIN. Minimal infrastructure, reliance on hand labor to accomplish most farming tasks, utilization of existing water sources to meet irrigation needs, and situating close to markets all keep investment and overhead costs low. You can see some of these entrepreneurial farmers in action at www.spinfarming.com.
