Haiti is the most densely populated country in the Americas and occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with Dominican Republic. It is also one of the poorest countries in the world and historically, is a country which was dedicated to Satan in 1791. Of the eight million population of Haiti, 80% live in poverty. Nearly 70% of the people depend on agricultural, which consists mostly of small-scale subsistence farming. This farming employs nearly two-thirds of those who work in Haiti.
