Niger experienced famine conditions in 2008 despite exporting food to other countries. While the common myth is that world population growth outpaces food supply, the facts show global food production exceeds caloric needs and has increased more than population growth. Niger's food shortages are due to its landlocked position in western Africa along the Niger River and reliance on the southern savanna for most of its population, making it vulnerable to drought and desertification in the Sahara region to the north.

Niger experienced famine conditions in 2008 despite exporting food. While some believe overpopulation causes food scarcity, the world actually produces enough grain for everyone's needs. Niger is a landlocked West African country along the Niger River that gained independence from France in 1960. It relies on foreign aid due to drought and desertification issues affecting its southern savanna and northern Saharan regions.
The food challenge: Feeding 100 million Ethiopians
This document discusses strategies for ensuring food security in Ethiopia. It argues that Ethiopia's overdependence on cereals like teff has led to a vicious cycle of low productivity, poverty, and environmental degradation. It proposes diversifying crop production to include potatoes and cassava, which have higher yields and are better suited to Ethiopia's varied climate zones. The document also stresses the need to expand Ethiopians' food habits beyond a narrow range of cereal-based diets to incorporate more nutritious crops. With policy changes and a commitment to more sustainable and diverse agricultural systems, it asserts that Ethiopia can become self-sufficient in food and end its image as a country synonymous with hunger.
Philippine Agriculture
The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,100 islands located in Southeast Asia. It has a tropical climate with wet and dry seasons and is prone to seismic and volcanic activity due to being located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Agriculture is an important sector for the economy and population, with the top crops being coconut, rice, maize, and sugarcane, however it suffers from issues like low productivity and lack of infrastructure support from the government. The country also experiences around 20 typhoons per year during the wet season.
Another review of agriculuture
This document contains a series of true/false questions and short answer questions about different types of agriculture around the world. It addresses topics like the percentage of populations involved in farming, the origins of agriculture, dominant crops and practices in various regions, and how agriculture has changed over time and differs between developed and developing areas. Key agricultural practices and crops discussed include subsistence farming, rice in East Asia, slash-and-burn cultivation, pastoral nomadism, livestock ranching, and mixed crop-livestock farming with corn and soybeans in the US Midwest.

2 Poverty Reduction from Agricultural Growth, Colin Thirtle
This document discusses how agricultural growth can reduce poverty. It finds that almost half the world's poor live on less than $2 per day, with most living in rural areas in South Asia, East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Agricultural growth is an effective way to reduce poverty as both producers and consumers benefit. A 1% increase in crop yields could reduce poverty in East Asia by 1.34 million and Sub-Saharan Africa by 2.09 million. Green Revolution varieties and now GM crops have potential to reduce poverty but their impacts depend on local factors. Bt maize suited small farms in South Africa by reducing need for pesticides, while herbicide-tolerant varieties combined with no-till farming reduced labor

Chapter 10 key 2
This document summarizes different types of agriculture practiced in less developed countries, including shifting cultivation, pastoral nomadism, and intensive subsistence agriculture. Shifting cultivation involves clearing and burning plots of land for temporary agriculture before letting the land lie fallow. Pastoral nomadism involves herding livestock in dry areas. Intensive subsistence agriculture features small, intensively farmed plots used to grow crops like wet rice in Asia to feed families. The future of these agricultural systems is threatened by issues like population growth, urbanization, and commercialization.
Chapter 10 key 1
This document provides an overview of agriculture. It discusses how agriculture began around 10,000 years ago through the deliberate cultivation of plants and domestication of animals. It contrasts hunting and gathering societies with agricultural societies. The document then covers the origins of vegetative and seed-based agriculture in different regions. It discusses the differences between subsistence and commercial agriculture. It also maps the global distribution of major agricultural regions and how they correlate with climate zones. Finally, it discusses tools for identifying and protecting productive farmland from urban expansion.
Food sovereignty, biodiversity, july 27, 2005
This document discusses food sovereignty and biodiversity in crop production systems. It notes that the discourse around food security shifted in the late 1990s to focus on food sovereignty, defined as a community's right to produce its own culturally appropriate food. Food sovereignty emphasizes ecological and sustainable agricultural practices, agricultural biodiversity, and farmers' control over seed and access to land and markets. The document then provides examples of farmers' perceptions that determine the crops grown in the Deccan region of India, such as moisture requirements, storability, taste, soil type, productivity, and cultural significance of certain crops.
Dry land agriulture
Dryland agriculture refers to cultivation without irrigation in areas receiving between 500-1200 mm of rainfall annually. It is important for India's economy as it produces many coarse grains, pulses, oilseeds, and cotton. Dryland agriculture is categorized based on annual rainfall into dry farming (<750 mm), dryland farming (750-1150 mm), and rainfed farming (>1150 mm). Key challenges include moisture stress, limited water storage, marketing difficulties for dryland crops, and restrictions on crop selection.
Neb agriculture
This document discusses various topics related to agriculture and economic activities. It begins by classifying economic activities into primary, secondary and tertiary. It then discusses different types of agricultural systems such as subsistence farming, shifting agriculture, and commercial agriculture. Specific topics covered include the origins of agriculture, animal domestication, von Thünen's model of agricultural land use, and the various revolutions that have transformed agriculture like the Green Revolution. The document also maps out global patterns of agriculture and discusses the role of transportation, climate, and agribusiness in shaping modern agriculture.
Opportunities in agribusiness presentation
The agricultural sector accounts for 40% of Nigeria's GDP but Nigeria's global share of crop exports has drastically reduced, making it a net importer of $4.2 billion worth of agricultural produce annually. The document outlines opportunities in Nigeria's agriculture value chain from input supply to production, post-harvest services, trading, and processing in cash crops, food crops, poultry, aquaculture, and livestock.

Wheat
Wheat is the third most produced cereal grain worldwide and is grown on more land area than any other commercial food crop. It is a staple food used to make flour for many baked goods and pastas, and has higher protein content than other major cereals. Wheat was a key factor in the development of early civilizations as it was easy to cultivate on a large scale and provided a harvest that stores well. There are six classifications of wheat with variations in hardness and gluten content that determine their uses for different baked goods. A high percentage of EU wheat production is also used for animal feed.
Chapter 10 key 4
This chapter discusses various issues relating to agriculture. It covers Von Thünen's model of how distance to market affects crop selection for farmers. Issues for commercial farmers include access to markets, overproduction, and sustainable agriculture practices. Subsistence farmers face challenges from population growth and need to balance food for domestic use versus exports. The document also discusses ways to increase the global food supply, such as the Green Revolution and cultivating new food sources. It identifies regions most at risk for desertification.

Why is rice an important food crop?
Rice is an important food crop because about 3 billion people, nearly half the world's population, depend on rice for survival. In many Asian countries, rice accounts for more than 70% of human caloric intake. Rice production is influenced by environmental factors like climate and topography as well as technological factors like irrigation, pest and disease management, and farming techniques.
Agron 342 presentation
This document summarizes three major famines in history: the Ukrainian Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward in China, and the Darfur famine. It describes how Stalin's policies led to the intentional starvation of Ukrainians, how Mao's Great Leap Forward caused widespread famine through poor management and lowered food production, and how drought and conflict contributed to deaths from starvation and disease in Darfur.
Sugar
The document discusses the history and global impacts of sugar production and the slave trade. Sugar cultivation required massive amounts of labor and led to millions of enslaved Africans being transported to the Americas to work on sugar plantations under dangerous conditions. The increased demand for sugar accelerated the Atlantic slave trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
Agribusiness potential in Nigeria
This document discusses the business potentials in agriculture in Nigeria. It notes that agriculture currently accounts for 21.97% of Nigeria's GDP and provides 60-70% of employment, yet only 42% of cultivable land is used. There are many opportunities across the agricultural value chain from production to processing. Specific opportunities are discussed for crops like cassava and cocoa, as well as livestock including cattle, poultry, and fish farming. Challenges like underinvestment and use of manual methods are also outlined. The document concludes that agriculture has great potential to create jobs and economic growth in Nigeria.
Status and Challenges of Soil Management in Nigeria - Olatunji Ojuola
This document summarizes the status and challenges of soil management in Nigeria. It finds that Nigerian soils are generally low in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter. The major challenges to soil management in Nigeria include soil erosion, salinity, flooding, desertification, declining soil fertility, lack of soil-specific fertilizer use, and mismanagement. Improving soil management will be important for boosting agricultural productivity in Nigeria.

Niger experienced famine conditions in 2008 despite exporting food. While some believe overpopulation causes food scarcity, the world actually produces enough grain for everyone's needs. Niger is a landlocked West African country along the Niger River that gained independence from France in 1960. It relies on foreign aid due to drought and desertification issues affecting its southern savanna and northern Saharan regions.
Unit5 the myth
1) The assigned reading challenges the common belief that scarcity is the cause of hunger by using the example of Niger, which exported food while its own population suffered from hunger due to high food prices.
2) The secondary source argues that there is enough food globally to provide everyone with an adequate daily calorie intake, yet many still go hungry, showing that abundance rather than scarcity characterizes the global food supply.
3) Hunger persists not due to lack of food but due to social and political factors like colonial land policies, gender inequality, and government policies that incentivize food exports over local production and access.
Full Planet, Empty Plates Appetizer Slideshow
This document provides an overview of the book "Full Planet, Empty Plates" which discusses the precarious state of the global food system. It summarizes that grain prices have sharply risen twice in recent years due to tight global food supplies. World grain production is only slightly exceeding consumption, leaving little buffer. Both population growth and dietary changes are increasing demand for grain, while climate change and other factors are constraining production. The global food system may be approaching a breaking point where it cannot reliably feed the world's population.
NIGER PERIODIC FAMINE
The document discusses periodic famines that occur in Niger due to regional failures in food production or distribution systems. It describes Niger's geography and climate, with the northern half being part of the Sahara desert and the central and southern regions receiving more rainfall. Farming practices vary by region, from nomadic herding in the north to agro-pastoral systems and permanent villages in the central and south. The 2005 famine in Niger is examined, caused by below average rainfall and locust plagues that reduced crop yields, combined with poverty, high food prices, and depleted government food reserves. Short term responses included food aid while long term solutions focused on irrigation, dams, wells, and agricultural development.
World hunger
While food production has increased globally, 870 million people still experience hunger. The top causes of world hunger are war and conflict, weather and climate change, poor agricultural practices, population growth, and poverty. These issues disrupt food supply and production. Additionally, over a billion tons of food are wasted each year, while millions lack access to adequate nutrition. Reducing food waste and empowering communities through education, infrastructure, and stable political systems could help address the complex, systemic causes of world hunger.

World food day
The document discusses issues related to global hunger and malnutrition on World Food Day. It notes that climate change is impacting food production while malnutrition contributes to millions of child deaths annually. Many regions face widespread micronutrient deficiencies that damage health. Though global food output is sufficient, uneven distribution means over 800 million people remain undernourished. Solutions proposed include reducing food waste, improving storage and transport infrastructure, and biofortifying staple crops through agriculture to combat hidden hunger. The document also notes Pakistan's own malnutrition problems and need for industry, academia, and researchers to work together to address nutritional deficiencies and their costs on society.
Mankind's relationship with food
Mankind's relationship with food has evolved significantly over time. Early humans were hunter-gatherers who obtained most of their food from gathering and some hunting around 1.8 million years ago. Around 10,000 years ago, agriculture began with the domestication of plants and animals, allowing for larger, more sedentary populations. Cooking food provided benefits like easier digestion and food preservation. Today, globalization and industrialization have significantly changed food production and diets. Issues around food waste, health, and sustainability remain ongoing areas of discussion for future improvements.

However, Africa currently utilizes only a small fraction of its potential for irrigation and arable farming. With adequate infrastructure development, funding, and cooperation between African nations, the continent could become a major global food producer and help alleviate world poverty by capitalizing on its largely untapped agricultural resources and land.
THE GLOBAL FOOD BOMB AND THE VIOLENT HUNGRY MILLIONS
The Humanity is on the verge of a severe Global Food Crisis or Bomb, leading to the hungry death of the millions and untold mass terror,violence and looting and thereby the end of Civilizations and the Modern Science and Technology. Counter strategies have been proposed.
Earth Policy Institute
The world food situation is deteriorating. Grain stocks have dropped to a dangerously low level. The World Food Price Index has doubled in a decade. The ranks of the hungry are expanding. Political unrest is spreading.
GLOBAL WAR FOR FOOD BY THE HUNGRY MILLIONS
The Humanity is on the verge of the Global Food Crisis & War. At any moment, the hungry millions go for war for food, a very serious issue to be addressed immediately.Strategies have been proposed.
Agriculture part 3
Animal domestication has occurred relatively rarely and attempts often fail. Subsistence agriculture involves growing only enough food for survival. The Green Revolution led to increased food production but also dependence on chemicals and loss of seed control. Agricultural practices impact gender relations and environments.

Getting Food
Cultural Anthropology
Food-getting activities take precedence over all other survival needs, including reproduction, social control, defense, and transmission of knowledge to the next generation
Cultural Anthropology
In our society food-getting strategies are simplified – we merely need to go to the supermarket
Video:
"'Freegans' Take Green to Extreme"
Cultural Anthropology
But for some of the world, the level of food-getting takes up more time and is much more labor-intensive. It is called subsistence economics.
Cultural Anthropology
Subsistence economics is a situation where basically all able-bodied adults are engaged in getting food for themselves and their family as their main activity
Cultural Anthropology
Subsistence economics is how humans obtained their food for millions of years by foraging for their subsistence – e.g. gathering plants, nuts, berries, scavenging, hunting and fishing
Cultural Anthropology
Foraging is much less common today
As a subsistence style, it is used today by hunter-gatherers, who make up only about 5 million people on the planet
Cultural Anthropology
Foraging for plant life – gathering plants, berries, seeds, nuts and tubers is more common in areas close to the equator as compared to northern latitudes such as the Arctic, where plant life is scarce
Video:
"Hunter-Gatherers"
Cultural Anthropology
In northern climates, since plants are scarce, hunting is more predominant
See an Inuit (Eskimo) hunter in Northern Canada in the classic anthropological film “ “Nanook of the North” (1922)
Foragers
Foragers actually spend less time obtaining food than most other types of food-getters
!Kung adults of Southern Africa spend just 17 hours a week on average getting food
Characteristics of Foragers
Foragers generally have small communities with no class differences
Getting Food: General Features of Food Collectors
A survey of 180 food-collecting societies indicates that there is a lot of variation with regard to which food-getting activity is most important to the society. Gathering is the most important activity for 30 percent of the surveyed societies, hunting for 25 percent, and fishing for 38 percent.
*
Food Production
Most of the world does not forage for food but produces it in one fashion or another
3 types of food production; horticulture, pastoralism, and intensive agriculture
No food production strategy is perfect, as the videos illustrate
Video:
'Women’s Horticulture Group in Burkina Faso"
Food Production
Horticulturalists have relatively small plots of land
Often use hand tools instead of machines
May also raise small animals; pigs, chickens, sheep, goats
Getting Food: Food Production
Horticulture
Plant cultivation carried out with relatively simple tools and methods; nature is allowed to replace nutrients in the soil, in the absence of permanently cultivated fields
Main Horticultural Method - Shifting cultivation
.
FAMINES IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
Famine is a significant problem for many developing countries despite a global food surplus. Famine results from a shortage or inability to obtain food, often due to drought causing low food production. It occurs mainly in rural areas where farming and livestock are the primary means of livelihood. Nearly 30 million Africans could face famine in the coming months, with the horn of Africa, southern Africa, and the Sahel region of West Africa most at risk. Causes of famine in Africa include drought, lack of self-sufficiency requiring imports, armed conflict, environmental degradation, and climate change.
Agriculture part 3
Animal domestication has occurred relatively rarely and attempts often fail. Subsistence agriculture involves growing only enough food for survival. The Green Revolution led to increased food production but also dependence on chemicals and loss of seed control. Agricultural practices impact gender relations and environments.
Lecture 26_230720_134454.pdf
The document discusses population explosion and its causes and effects. It notes that overpopulation occurs when the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment. The main reasons for overpopulation are an increase in birth rates and decrease in death rates due to better medical facilities. This population explosion puts pressure on natural resources and leads to issues like increased food demand, unemployment, and poverty.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
