Population Growth and Food Problems in Africa

By Metahan Traore

The author takes a multidimensional approach to analyzing the actual interconnection between socioeconomic and demographic factors in the food problem. This study shows that demographic changes play a significant role in this regard, but that the severity of the problem is determined first and foremost by socioeconomic conditions. The book addresses the possibilities for mobilizing food resources to meet the needs of a growing population, the decisive role of progressive socioeconomic transformations, and a scientifically grounded demographic policy to complement them. The solution to the food problem depends largely on external economic and political factors, including the deterioration of terms of trade, agricultural subsidies in developed countries, and the struggle for a new economic order. This study is a synthesis of the analysis of extensive statistical data that highlights the relationship between population growth and food problems in sub-Saharan Africa.
