Are the resources in the world evenly distributed? Why?

Not every country is able to grow what they need Other countries are rich in natural resources and have more than they need They are usually the ones who consume the most as well

Many nations lack capital wealth These areas usually make food production the most important part of their economy Education in these areas are considered a luxury

What makes a country rich in natural resources?

Question Do we have the potential, on land and on sea, to produce enough food to feed the nearly 6 billion people on the face of the Earth today? Nutritionists tell us YES! In fact, they predict we have enough food to feed over 6 billion people

If this is the case, why do so many people starve to death every year around the world? The answer is..... DISTRIBUTION

\ Land and ocean potential are not the only factors affecting distribution. There are many human factors that affect food resources

War A general rule is: Wherever there is war, famine is sure to follow. Many farmers cannot plan their crops due to landmines

Debt In order to pay debts, countries (usually less developed countries) are forced to agree to “structural- adjustment)

These programs usually mean the Least Developed Countries (LDC), are forced to concentrate on improving for the profitability of its exports This is at the expense of spending money on domestic priorities such as health, education, and housing programs

Increased profitability leads to cash crops Cash Crop: a crop produced for its commercial value rather than for use by the grower. (Compact Oxford English Dictionary)

Countries begin to depend on cash crops This makes less land for subsistence Subsistence farming: Generates only enough produce to feed the farmer's family, with little or nothing left over to sell farms. (Encarta® World English Dictionary)

What countries are considered hungry? Angola Burundi Chad Congo (Dem. Rep.) Eritrea (The world's 2nd Hungriest Country) Ethiopia Haiti Niger Mozambique Sierra Leone Tajikistan Yemen, Rep Zambia Just to name a few....
