| description | Food Deficiency in the Sangha Region - Congo. The problem of food shortage in Sangha region is accompanied by alarming paradoxes. The region offers extremely favorable conditions for the development of agriculture : equatorial climate with abundance of rains and sun, a lot of uncultivated areas, a lot rivers, etc. Despite these advantages, food crops production is insignificant in the light of the very high infant mortality in the area 17.5 % (6), a death rate which is often bound with malnutrition. Contrary to what is commonly admitted, this food shortage is caused neither by natural obstacles nor by a certain passivity or immobility among peasants but by bad agricultural politic in the region. This article investigates these paradoxes and suggests in the same way a frame of analyses and orientations which could help overcome the regions savers food shortage. |
