The correct answer is:

Mao Zedong was the Founding Father of the Peoples' Republic of China. Under his "Great Leap Forward Strategy", launched in 1958, Mao proposed a reform in the current agricultural system of the country. This led to the fusion of numerous small agricultural collectives into large people's communes, which were ordered to put into practice some unproven farming techniques. This led to an immediate reduction of the crop output in 1959, as the techniques were proven unsuccessful. Total grain production was reduced by 15% in 1959 and a further 10% in 1960. It would not recover until the beginning of 1962.
