Question 7 • HVA 26-27 IM Contemporary World Problems A

Which of the following statements best describes agriculture (food production, such as herding and farming) in Africa today?

Answer
A
Africa imports most of its food because most people work in manufacturing industries.
B
Africa leads the world in agricultural production, and exports extra food to other areas.
C
Africa has struggled with overfarming and overgrazing, making it difficult to produce enough food for its population.
D
Africa has a few agricultural challenges, but it can generally produce enough food for everyone.

Explanation

Overfarming and overgrazing can wear down soil and damage land, reducing how much food it can produce. These pressures, along with other challenges such as drought, have made it difficult for parts of Africa to produce enough food for their populations. Choice C best describes this situation; Africa does not lead the world in agricultural production or generally export surplus food as choice B claims.
