The problem of famine in Africa

I think this question should be analyzed from both natural and social aspects, because the main premise of human life is the need for a suitable natural environment, and secondly, the reaction of society to human beings.

Because most of Africa is in a tropical desert climate, so the drought and lack of rain for many years, resulting in a reduction in crop yield, coupled with Africa's economic and cultural backwardness, so the adoption of extensive planting methods makes the grain harvest insufficient, and secondly, coupled with the control of the number of people, resulting in the excessive population has allocated not very sufficient food, so that people's food and clothing problems can not be solved, let alone health and other series of guarantees. The current situation of the population with high birth rate, high mortality rate and low growth rate.

Secondly, from the analysis of social factors, Africa is the region that has been controlled as a colony for the longest time, and the colonizers' predatory exploitation of local resources, as well as the interference of local culture and politics, make the regional culture develop in a low degree and serve the society with low efficiency, coupled with the continuous conflicts and wars, it is difficult for the region to have normal development.

Social chaos, political instability, a serious gap between the rich and the poor, a harsh environment, competition for resources, and wars.

Trigger wars (wars for food), both between tribes and between nations.

At the same time, the number of political and economic refugees will accelerate.

Africa was originally a colony of the European powers, and the colonizers turned Africa into a source of raw materials for their own benefit. As a result, African countries grow mainly cash crops rather than food crops, laying the seeds for famine in Africa.

With the wave of national liberation after World War II, African countries became independent and gradually freed from colonial control. Began to increase the cultivation of cash crops and economic development. On the one hand, it has increased food production; On the other hand, due to economic development, it is possible to import part of the grain from foreign countries.

Alleviated famine in Africa.

It should also be noted, however, that famine in Africa is currently only alleviating but not eliminating. The reasons are:1Africa, for its own reasons and for a long period of exploitation, has made its productivity level low and its food production is not high.

2.Most African countries have poor natural conditions.

3.Most African countries are politically unstable.

4 Most African countries have a single economy and still rely on the production of a single cash crop in exchange for foreign exchange.

Their thinking is still in the primitive society and they do not know how to cultivate intensively. Lazy and stupid.

The cause of famine in Africa is mainly due to the lack of arable land, primitive economic structure and insufficient labor, the cause of the formation can be traced back to the heyday of the black slave trade and the history of destructive colonization in Europe, the social situation in Africa today is largely related to that period of history, as for how to end, my mission in the short term Africa will still face the huge threat of famine, relying on the United Nations alone is far from enough, in addition, many countries in Africa are also facing major problems of disease and violent crime, I think that if we want to completely change this situation, unless we build a trans-national alliance like the European Union in Africa, with strong organizational and administrative means, and then carry out a series of economic and social reforms, through the export of African mines and other resources in exchange for Western technology, deepen cooperation with some countries, and improve infrastructure, famine will really be Africa.

The imperialist aggression against the colonies has led to a single industry in Africa, mainly based on the processing of raw materials, and strong dependence on foreign countries. We must combine it with reality, rely on abundant resources, and strive to speed up modernization.

Because that part of Africa is so poor, it depends on other countries for all kinds of assistance.

CNN said on March 12 that four African countries are suffering from famine, "20 million people in Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia and Kenya are facing the threat of famine and disease, and the world is experiencing the worst famine since World War II." ”

In his briefing to the Security Council, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs O'Brien, who recently visited the four countries, stressed that the world is facing a serious humanitarian crisis and that "20 million people may be waiting to die."

In northern Kenya, 2.7 million people are food short due to severe drought, and that number could reach 4 million in April. Yemen3 2 of the population – the equivalent of 18.8 million people – faces famine. Sixty million people in Somalia are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection, nearly 3 million of whom are at risk of famine.

Nur Ibrahim, a resident of Mogadishu, Somalia, said in an interview: "The situation is very urgent and many people may starve to death. There is no water, and Al-Shabaab in Somalia has blocked all the roads and has no access to food. ”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said a few days ago that Somalia is being forgotten by the world and that "we have a responsibility to save them".

The United Nations has declared a major famine in South Sudan. According to the Financial Times, this is the first region to declare famine in six years.

South Sudan** and the United Nations report that more than 1 million people are on the brink of famine caused by civil war and economic collapse. The famine in South Sudan is man-made, a famine caused by conflict.

Famine is rare in democracies, and one more thing to note is why when there is a war, the soldiers have food to eat, and when there is no war, where is the food?

The first is because of the slow modernization, backward science and technology, underdeveloped economy, and natural conditions, such as drought and floods. The population is large.

Politically unstable. Second: Suicide could be:

Loss of confidence in life, high pressure from reality, and turmoil in the country. Interrelated with the first question. Third:

The separation of people's lives from their living conditions.

It is because of the slow modernization, backward science and technology, underdeveloped economy, dependence on the weather for food, and natural conditions, many droughts and floods. The population is large. Politically unstable.

He didn't know how to put into words the possible consequences. According to the estimates of the United Nations, the current war and famine in Africa have been tugging at the nerves of the world, and after entering the 21st century, African countries have gradually become politically active.

environmental damage; Bad climate (less water); The population is huge. Food is in short supply!

This is not difficult to understand, using the thoughts of our ancestors of "heaven, earth and man" to understand. The weather is the climate, Africa is mostly located in the north of the equator, which is affected by ocean currents and monsoons all year round, and the climate is divided into two seasons: rain and drought, and it is difficult for crops to adapt to such an environment. Land is land, and Africa is desert and barren, and it is difficult to grow crops to survive, so they can only rely on hunting and other means to make a living.

People are society and politics. This involves the long-term colonial rule of foreign powers, Africa is rich in minerals is a typical resource-based economy, during the colonization of foreign powers, there are a large number of mining teams and sales markets, and the colonizers took away the wealth after the launch, and the economy declined. After the withdrawal of the foreign powers, the local warlords and local armed forces preyed on the common people, exploiting the financial support of various countries for the people, leading to a famine situation in African countries.

This is a social issue related to the extreme civilization of human nature and thought.

There is little arable land, and the culture is not good.

Tropical climate and deserts have caused land cracking, wind and sand erosion, and reduced or even no grain harvest, and hunger has plagued Africa for a long time.

In 1982 and 1984, there was a three-year drought in Africa. Before that, Africa had been ravaged by hunger. Since the beginning of 1977, food shortages have occurred in as many as 20,30 countries in Africa every year, of which 15 are often severely food insecure, and the combined population of these countries is 1.2 of Africa's total population

In 1982 and 1984, the area was further expanded, from southern Africa to East Africa and the Sahara Desert. Even southern Africa, which has been hit by the worst drought in history, has been hit by the worst drought in history. The United Nations has called the drought "the greatest human catastrophe in Africa's recent history."

Some believe that this is due to the extreme population expansion in Africa, which has led to the emergence of a food shortage crisis. Some people say that it is caused by the destruction of the ecological environment.

Some scientists have found that the culprit of the Holodomor is not Africa itself, but the developed industrial countries of North America, Europe and Asia. They say sulphur dioxide pollution from factories in these industrialized countries has altered atmospheric precipitation.

The answer from upstairs was pure nonsense. But I can't solve it, because the current world hunger problem is not caused by food scarcity or population and lack of productivity. Unless there is a sage-level cattle to unify the world, use powerful force to implement laws and regulations, change customs, and engage in the same set of business martingales, the same book and the same track.

If there is stable world integration, famine will be resolved. With so many people in our country, you can see that there is no famine problem now, and the speed of development is not slow. In the past, famines were basically man-made disasters, and there were very few real natural disasters, so it is impossible to say.

If the world is stable, the famine is very easy to solve, but it is impossible. The food problem is the easiest problem in the world to solve, and the reason is simple: if you don't have enough productivity, you won't be able to give birth to that many people. The problem of harmony is the rarest, it is too difficult and difficult for a large population to think about harmony, and people can't just think about eating it all their lives.

From ancient times to the present, the most industrious nation in the world is undoubtedly our Chinese nation, because only we do not rely on robbery and aggression, but only rely on our own hands to solve our own survival problems, but the survival of this era depends not only on food.

Invented food can be preserved for 100 years.

First, we can't finish the food and the food that we can't use up, sometimes because of the hot weather, the food we buy is bad, and a lot of meat hurts to death, and some of them are planted by farmers, can't be sold, rot in the fields, merchants can't sell because they are broken, and they rot on the way to transportation, don't look at these, these preserved foods are definitely so much that you can't think of it.

Second, if grain can be preserved for 100 years, grain can be produced on a much larger scale.

Third, large-scale production, more grain, ** can be cheap, people can buy affordable grain.

Fourth, in the event of a natural disaster that is rare in a thousand years, a food panic, or a harvest failure caused by nuclear chemicals in the future, the food stored before will become a lifesaver.

Fifth, during the war years, people could also be fed, and sixth, imported food could also be fresh and cheap, and it could be sent to distant places using slow transportation to reduce transportation costs.

Seventh, 3 grocery shopping a day is reduced to once a month, saving fuel, racing, and time.

Eighth, if there is a big flood, there will be no hunger if there is a stockpile, this is very profound, the year before last there was a big flood in the hometown, the parents were forced to live on the second floor, fortunately there is food on the second floor do not have to be hungry, because when the rescue team comes, it has been a day, even if the rescue team comes, a few days after the purchase of food, black-hearted merchants take the opportunity to sell food at a high price, the ninth grain can be saved, the country can hoard when the food is abundant, and take it out when the country is in calamity and food is scarce.

10. We can eat fresh food, for example, we can eat fresh food at noon and in the morning, but every time we eat it in the evening, we can eat it fresh, and we don't have to wait a long time to eat it, because the chef can fry it first and save it.

At the end of the eleventh earth, people hid on the moon, and people brought enough preserved food to survive on the moon.

There's a lot more to be desired.

I don't have the power to solve the problem of world hunger. To solve the problem of world famine, the people of the world need to work together, and only by making good arrangements in science and technology and institutions can we produce enough food. At the same time, only by controlling the number of people can we produce food that meets the people's ever-increasing consumption needs.

Third, only by protecting resources and the environment can our food production be guaranteed1

The area of the African savannah is the largest among all continents, and in addition to the development of animal husbandry, most of the places with better hydrothermal conditions have been reclaimed for arable land East Africa is mainly a savannah climate, which is divided into dry and wet seasons, and the precipitation in the wet season has a lot of precipitation, and the precipitation varies greatly from year to year, and it is prone to drought and flood disasters
