Africa is suffering from food shortages. This is because the rights to own private property (land) in Africa are being taken away. Quotes from a website: "In 1994, when South America still exported agricultural products on a massive scale, it had 85,000 farmers using less than 7% of the total land surface. Right now, less than 10,000 commercial farmers remain, raising crops on less than 0.75% of the total land surface. The country is now facing serious food shortages for the first time in it's entire recorded agricultural history since the mid-1600's." That's not right. You can learn more about this on the link to the website on the blog page.
