The unused portion of Africa alone could feed the entire world's population. We don't have a population problem. We have a logistics and political corruption problem.nein51 said:
Unchecked growth of population on the African continent will be a massive problem. Dead babies from malaria or starving adults? Terrible problem either way.

Most of sub Saharan Africa is extremely fertile, with some minor exceptions like parts of Namibia. African politics are just a near universal mess.

There are plenty of places in Africa that are neither dry nor particularly hot.
You can grow just about anything in Sub-Saharan Africa depending upon the country. The problem is a lack of modern farming equipment, roads, storage, stable governments and stable markets. Africa is full of small farms that can support families and villages, but you can't feed the masses without stable land control and the requirements for mass agricultural production.Canada2017 said:D.

The sub Saharan was specifically mentioned .
And to my ( admittedly limited ) knowledge about the region it certainly appears to be hot and dry .
Interesting topic though .
Especially since I will never visit the continent.

More like purgatory than hell, depending on where you are, but there are a few changes that would make an enormous difference in those economies. Malaria takes an enormous toll on the economy in many of these countries, not just on lives and health. Corruption is as endemic as malaria. Thanks to President George W. Bush, AIDS is not the devastating plague that it once was, but it is still a problem.

New Hampshire is the ONLY state thus far to reject this funding. Texas and Florida both accepted it.
