Ethiopia 's Economic And Agricultural State

Many countries around the world have developed food deficiency and food insecurity issues. Deficiency is the lack or shortage of something, so food deficiency is the shortage of food; and food insecurity is when people in an area do not have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times to meet their dietary needs. There are five main factors that contribute to a country having food deficiency and food insecurity issues, these being: environmental, demographic, political, social, and economic factors. All of these factors have influenced Ethiopia to having food deficiency and food insecurity problems. Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa and is home to about 85 million people, and has been suffering from food deficiency and insecurity problems for quite a while. These five factors have contributed to Ethiopia’s current state, in regard to food.

Another factor that causes starvation in Ethiopia is its economy. Ethiopia is in and has always been in a very poor economic state. Crops account for 41% of the country’s GDP however; the

Imagine if there was no home to live, we were not assigned this topic to write. It is obvious to have different techniques and materials in every country and culture. It is different even in the same country, but different city or state; countryside and in a capital city. It is some advantage and disadvantage to the environment when a country made a home. There are two main differences between my country, Ethiopia and in the United States in order to the Materials and the benefits to the environment.

WH9 Kaulike Jansen Africa DBQ January 6, 2016 Before the Europeans arrived to the empires, kingdoms, and cities of Africa, the African civilization flourished in many achievements with Art, political status, trade, and culture. The Africa we know today is not like the Africa we knew before the Europeans arrived in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Africa traders have used their skills to trade with other lands. Beautiful cities were built with an advanced political structure like the city of Kilwa. They even maintained a thriving culture.

Chad, a developing country with a high rate of undernourished people, has many different reasons for this. With Chad’s economy evolving, the amount of money the made compared to other countries is significantly lower, causing the malnutrition. Chad’s GDP per capita, the amount of money made per a person, is a shocking $2,600, compared to $57,466 in the United States (Means). People in Chad have a hard time buying the food because it is so expensive; however because Chad does not have enough money, it cannot help the suffering people.Therefore, the fatal situation in Chad remains the same. Civil wars, many occurring in the past 20 years, are another cause of Chad’s developing state. All the civil wars led to lower education for the population

The issue of hunger in africa has caused major chaos around the world. The fact that families and children are left to die because there is insufficient food; therefore, families are separated and left to suffer. For example, on page 1 of “Why Africa Is Still Starving”, by Alex Perry, it states that, “From January to May, the fields were parched and brown. And one failed harvest is enough to turn Ethiopia, a nation of 66 million farmers, a humanitarian catastrophe”. Alex Perry explains how the soil of Africa is not rich enough to grow any goods or rich crops.

I have lived in Ethiopia and in the United States. When I came to the United States before 5 years ago I was having a hard time to get used to with the time flow. It was a summer time and at 8:00 pm it looks like a day I was surprised I have never seen something like that in my life before. I will never forget what happened once I registered for class at 1:30 pm and I was so confused with the time since we don’t use AM and PM time division in Ethiopia. I thought that my class was a morning class and when I came to the school 30 minutes early nobody was there. I asked the security guy and he told me that my class is in the afternoon. Ethiopia and the United States have differences in traditions, language, and economy.

In the sixth century B.C.E., the civilization of Aksum, which was located in what in now Ethiopia, was flourishing. One traveler wrote his thoughts about the trading processes that the Aksumites did. This piece of writing that he wrote can show a lot about how the Aksumites lived.

In the continent of Africa, there were numerous city states that were quite successful and powerful, particularly during the early centuries of the Common Era. Many African city-states increased the overall wealth, trade, and even territorial control in numerous regions, and as a result, different African societies experienced significant changes. One African city-state that was very powerful during the period from around 300 BCE to 700 CE, was Aksum, located in Northern Ethiopia. During the rise of Aksum, there was significant change in the horn of Ethiopia, as trade, agricultural production and military control increased. Through this, Aksum’s success increased, and as a result, Ethiopia and other nearby regions experienced significant change.

Children are the main targeted group that suffers the most with over 400,000 Ethiopian children being diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Abi, a 48 year Ethiopian father, describes how his children had to stop attending primary school due to a lack of food and nutrients needed to concentrate in their studies. The story of Abi is only one of 2.5 million students that the educational system calculates will loose due to the drought. As a result, the cycle of poverty and lack of education will continue with the next generation unless preventative measures are

“ETHIOPIA IS BLEEDING.” Well-educated, trained, and experienced sons and daughters of the motherland are flooding from the ups, downs, hills, and mountains to the rest of the world. There is no much more affected nation by the brain drain than Ethiopia in the continent – Africa. In Ethiopia the brain drain issue is becoming controversial. It can be mouth fully said that regarding this human capital flight, no national consensus is reached at all. The government and the intellectual public look at the case from different points of view. Of course, both the good and the bad perspectives have merits, and demerits. On the one hand, the nation can neither control the outflow of skill nor ignore its consequences on the larger community, because of

According to the definition of the World Bank in 2001, “a person is considered poor if his or her income level falls below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs. This minimum level is usually called the "poverty line" and used in each country differently taking into consideration its level of development, societal norms and values”.

Kenya is a low-income, food-deficit country. In 2004, more than ten million people in Kenya were experiencing chronic hunger. Food insecurity in Kenya is mainly due to the fact that the agricultural sector of Kenya’s economy usually performs extremely poorly. However, problems with obtaining access to food also contribute greatly to the

Ethiopia is a country that is located in the horn of Africa and is the most populous landlocked country in the world. This nation is a tad different than say South Korea or Argentina in that access to clean water and sanitation levels are deficient. As one of the oldest civilizations in Africa, it is no surprise that it may not be as westernized as other parts of the world. Malnutrition and illness from communicable diseases coupled with less than adequate education in the country leaves Ethiopia in a less than satisfactory state.

Poverty and inequality are a concern to both developing and developed nations across the world (Melamed, 2014; Shepherd et al., 2014). These problems are more serious in developing countries like Ethiopia (UNDP, 2013). Poverty is so widespread and prevalent in Ethiopia that the country is amongst the poorest nations in the world (UNDP, 2013).
