      abstract = {One of the factors contributing to sustainable farming  systems is the way in which human
resources are effectively  implemented in achieving the goals and objectives of  the
organisation. In this paper equity sharing is discussed  as a means of human development via
broadening access to  and ownership of land and capital assets in the farming  business, as
well as a changing perception amongst farm  workers of themselves, the business and
management.
Some of  the positive effects which resulted from equity sharing on  a fruit farm in the Western
Cape are higher productivity,  higher levels of job satisfaction and participation in  decision
maldng at both enterprise and task level. The  management style is one of the determinants in
successfully  implementing equity sharing as a means of contributing to  sustainability in
farming. Equity sharing, like  participative management, is not a quick fix for farm  businesses
experiencing problems in human resource  management.},
