It is discriminatingly awful, food and water are very insufficient and far from fundamental standards. The current population
Good nutrition is critical to health. Diverse, high quality food is critical to nutrition. And agriculture plays a key role in producing and improving access to the nutritious food needed for healthy, productive lives (Carol, 2015). Naturally, most people would say agriculture is about growing food and rearing animals; they are right. Agricultural performance, after all, is measured in terms of production measured in yield, grain production and output. The purpose of agriculture, however, does not
role in the national security of any given country. Threat to energy security can also result to economic and other threat which can lead to physical damage to the energy infrastructure (such as pipeline vandalization), natural events, insurgency or warfare. The political and economic instability caused by crisis and other factors such as strike action can also prevent the proper functioning of the energy industry in the country. In recent years, new threat to energy security has emerged in the form
CHAPTER ONE RESEARCH DESIGN 1.1 Introduction Food Security is one of the topical issues of the 21st century with discussions revolving around the quality and quantity of food as well as sustainability of food across the globe.

The Niger Delta – the geographical heart of oil production in Nigeria has been a breeding ground for militants and ‚impoverished ethnic groups‛ for some years now. This is because the discovery of oil and its exploitation has ushered in a miserable, undisciplined, decrepit, and corrupt form of ‘petro-capitalism’ which produces conflict accelerating factors. Devastated by the ecological costs of oil spillage and the highest gas flaring rates in the world, the Niger Delta has become a centre of violence
Cash crops or food crops A smallholder farmer, grows crops on a small scale hence for the land to be used effectively there can only be one focus, cash or food crop. Barbier, (1989) points out that there is no clear path to defining these two terms because of the overlap in the definitions.

Introduction “Every day is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, people have got 24 hours each.” (Christopher Rice, n.d.). Spending money is already a daily routine; one spends cash to buy necessary things such as food and clothing. Day by day, people will need more and more things and there will be no time that they will be satisfied with those needs, as well as to personal wants and desires. As it goes with our endless human needs, account balances change every
Famine and Food Crisis are related societal phenomena. Because of the inter-linked nature of the factors of hunger, you can be sure that the food crisis will in turn cause more debt, more conflicts, more health problems, more famines, more poverty and more poor government decisions as they struggle to react to growing dangers. This essay will define famine, its global perspective and root causes of famine. And lastly define food crisis, its global perspective and nature and underlying causes of
average cost that the trip will entail. What goes in hand with security, is that Uber is a cashless system, meaning that the cast of the route is taken directly from the customer’s bank account, allowing for cashless transactions and reducing the need for passengers to carry around cash to make payments to the driver, as well as reducing the unfair transactions with the driver, pricing the passenger higher rates; allowing for a higher security of payment within South Africa (Dube, 2015). With Uber and
