Causes of food shortages:
- inequalities in sahal
- climate: dry and hot
-huge population growth
-

# data[].attributes.body
Impacts:
● Reduced crop yields - as the soil becomes less fertile the amount of crops that it can supports will reduce.
● Conflict - with increasing soil degradation and reduction in agriculture, conflict can arise over diminishing resources.
● Famine - if the soil becomes degraded and crops begin to fail then famine can happen.
● Food can be withheld in order to control large numbers of people in times of conflict.

Solutions:
● Shelter belts - areas of forest that are left untouched to protect farmland from the effects of erosion.
- Reforestation
- Population control
- Irrigation

Location: North Africa
Drought and famine occurred in 2011

Causes:
- Rapid population growth
- Deforestation caused by people who collect firewood

Consequences:
- Reduced crop yields
- Famine
- Conflict due to the diminishing of resources

Solutions:
-  Crop rotation
-  Reforestation
- Population control

# data[].attributes.body
causes:
- Deforestation
- Population Growth
- Climate change
consequences:
- Conflict (due to increasing soil degradation so conflict over resources)

- Draughts in 2011

# data[].attributes.body
causes:
- severe droughts in 2011
- rapid population growth 3% every year

consequences:
- conflict arises over resources
- famine
-soil less fertile = reduced crop yields
-

# data[].attributes.body
causes
- extreme poverty
- gender inequality
- hot and dry climate
- lack of education
- rapid population growth
- droughts

effects
-

# data[].attributes.body
-The sahel, North Africa
- caused by rapid population growth, storms
- drought in 2011-2012 (threatening 9.5 million people)
-

# data[].attributes.body
- suffering from increasing soil degradation
-deforestation - people collecting firewood
climate change and rising temperature impacts farming
- Between July 2011 and 2012, severe drought affected eastern Sahel
- 9.5 million people affected

-reduced crop yields
-famine
conflict can arise over decreasing resources

Solutions:
- reforestation
- irrigation
- population control
- shelter belts

# data[].attributes.body
-Located in North Africa
-High temp and droughts
-2011 large drought
-Dryland  with small rainfall
-Population growth
-deforestation

# data[].attributes.body
- Very dry land with little rain each year
-  Continued food assistance is often needed in all countries in Eastern Africa due to the shortages of food
-  High poverty rates

# data[].attributes.body
- Located in North Africa
Causes: high temperature/ climate change (droughts)
- Deforestation
- When it rains it tends to be intense (storms) which leads to soil erosion.
