Book Synopsis Drought and Hunger in Africa by : Michael H. Glantz
Download or read book Drought and Hunger in Africa written by Michael H. Glantz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume presents a synthesis of the ideas that emerged from a multidisciplinary colloquium held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in August 1985. The aim was to assess the impact of drought as a major factor in the agrarian crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. Leading authorities engage in discussion of the African environment, the socio-political factors that generate famine, case studies of the effects of famine on these social structures, and finally possible lessons to be learnt on dealing with famine worldwide, thus developing an up-to-date and cohesive study of the problems of African development. Despite the current popular interest in the African famine problem, Drought and Hunger in Africa is the first major collection of the results that have emerged from the recent profusion of research relating to the subject. As such, this book has relevance, not only in Africa, but also to scientists, social-scientists and policy makers in the West, and to other areas of the third world which are facing the problems of drought and famine.
Book Synopsis Famine in Africa by : von Braun, Joachim
Download or read book Famine in Africa written by von Braun, Joachim and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though famine has affected many parts of the world in the twentieth century, the conditions that produce famineextreme poverty, armed conflict, economic and political turmoil, and climate shocksare now most prevalent in Africa. Researchers differ on how to address this problem effectively, but their arguments are often not informed by empirical analysis from a famine context. Broadening current theories and models of development for conquering famine, Famine in Africa grounds its findings in long-term empirical research, especially on the impact of famine on households and markets. The authors present the results of field work and other research from numerous parts of Africa, with a particular focus on Botswana, Ethiopia, Niger, Rwanda, Sudan, and Zimbabwe. With these data, the authors explain the factors that cause famines and assess efforts to mitigate and prevent them. Famine in Africa is an important resource for international development specialists, students, and policymakers.

Download or read book African Food Systems in Crisis written by Rebecca Huss-Ashmore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990. Produced by the Task Force on African Famine of the American Anthropological Association, this is the first of a multi-part project dealing with the long-term and ongoing food crisis in Africa primarily at the level of local production-the microperspective. It offers a series of anthropological and ecological views on the cause of the current problem and on coping strategies used by both indigenous people and developmental planners. The three sections of this volume review current explanations for food problems in Africa, focusing mainly on production and consumption at the household level; they offer a number of perspectives on the environmental, historical, political, and economic contexts for food stress, and include a series of case studies showing the ways in which Africans have responded to the threat of drought and hunger. The extent of research and the degree of scholarship involved in the production of this volume recommend it to all persons concerned with this ultimately global dilemma, particularly those involved in planning and relief efforts.

Download or read book Food Deficits and Agricultural Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Michael F. Lofchie and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The second in a series of Hunger Project papers discusses the current status, causes, and possible remedies of famine in sub-Saharan Africa. This area represents the only region of the world where food production per capita has declined during the past 20 years, where approximately 150 million people are malnourished. Two widely discussed theories have been offered to explain the decline in good production: the theory of underdevelopment, the theory of comparative advantage. However, these theories (and policies based on them) have serious limitations. Environmental constraints to developing agricultural strategies for agricultural development promotion in Africa also are discussed. The weakness of food aid as a long-term benefit is described. A special report on food deficits in sub-Saharan Africa as of 1984 and a map of Africa also are included. (wz).
Book Synopsis The Challenges of Famine Relief by : Francis M. Deng
Download or read book The Challenges of Famine Relief written by Francis M. Deng and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a decade, international efforts to combat famine and food shortages around the globe have concentrated on the critical situations in sub-Saharan Africa. In the Sudan, the largest country in Africa, prolonged drought, complicated by civil strife and debilitating economic problems, has caused widespread human suffering. The Sudan illustrates the proverbial worst-case scenario in which urgent food needs have been denied, food has been used as a weapon, and outside assistance has been obstructed. The Challenges of Famine Relief focuses on the two famine emergencies in the Sudan in the 1980s—the great African drought-related famine of 1984-86 and the conflict-related famine that afflicted the southern Sudan in 1988-91. Francis Deng and Larry Minear analyze the historical and political setting and the response by Sudan authorities and the international community. The book outlines four problem areas exemplified in the response to each crisis: the external nature of famine relief, the relationship between relief activities and endemic problems, the coordination of such activities, and the ambivalence of the results. The authors identify the many difficulties inherent in providing emergency relief to populations caught in circumstances of life-threatening famine. They show how such famine emergencies reflect the most extreme breakdown of social order and present the most compelling imperatives for international action. Deng and Minear also discuss how the international community, alerted by the media and mobilized by the Ethiopian famine, moved to fill the moral void left by the government and how outside organizations worked together to pressure Sudan's political authorities to be more responsive to these tragedies. Looking ahead, the authors highlight the implications for future involvement in humanitarian initiatives in a new world order. As recent developments in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union demonstrate, such humanitarian challenges of global dimensions are no longer confined to third world countries. As the international community apportions limited resources among a growing number of such challenges, more effective responses to crises such as those described in this book are imperative.

This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Medicine - Epidemiology, grade: 1,0, University of Basel (Centre for African Studies Basel), course: Seminar: Current Ecological and Health Issues, language: English, abstract: Despite the fact that there is currently enough food in the world for all, the poorest billion of the world's population is suffering from starvation and hunger-related diseases. It was estimated that in the 20th century between 70 and 80 million people died in famines worldwide of which 4 million famine deaths occurred in Africa. Even though the last two decades saw a reduction in famines in other parts of the world, on the African continent it is still a sad reality. There are numerous factors causing a famine, most importantly natural disasters, policy failures, conflicts and wars, production and market failures. In most cases it is not a single factor triggering a famine, but it is rather the result of interlocking processes. The overall research question of this paper is: "How are famines caused, what effects do they have on human health, and what are the chances to reduce poverty and hunger in Africa?" This research question is answered in three chapters. The first chapter is an attempt to explain the causes of famines by using the Panarchy Framework as developed by Gunderson and Holling in 2002. In the second chapter, the relationship between hunger, undernutrition and both communica-ble and non-communicable diseases is explored. This includes an analysis on how un-dernutrition is measured and which relief practices in emergency situations are usually being applied. In the third chap-ter the strategies needed to meet the extreme poverty and hunger Millennium Development Goal are explored. As there are a number of threats endangering the achievement of this goal, in a second part of this chapter the main threats are identified to deliberate about whether or not this goal may be achieved in Africa."
