Population and Food Production People live in the coastal belt of West Africa and the eastern coast of Southern Africa Government actions Effects of climate Cash crop economies =Africa can’t produce enough food. Must export

Population and Health Care Poor Health Care a.Famine b.Poor nutrition c.Impure water d.Inadequate sanitation: disposal of waste products e.Diseases are widespread: (malaria, AIDS)
