Essay / Research Paper Abstract
9 pages in length. The reason for choosing Ethiopia as a focus for agricultural economics is because there exists an inherent presence for failure when the people are either provided with imported food or given the opportunity to grow their own supplies. The extent to which this dichotomy continues to exist in spite of extraordinary measures makes this country particularly interesting to examine; as well, the tens of thousands – and even millions – of Ethiopians who have and continue to die due to agriculturally related issues renders this a topic about which everyone should care. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

own supplies. The extent to which this dichotomy continues to exist in spite of extraordinary measures makes this country particularly interesting to examine; as well, the tens of thousands
- and even millions - of Ethiopians who have and continue to die due to agriculturally related issues renders this a topic about which everyone should care. II. POPULATION
Ethiopias population is one of the most critical components of its many environmental, social and economic issues. With 67.7 million reflecting the total population in 2002 compared with
that of an active population of just over twenty-four million in 1995 (FAO/World Bank, 2001), it is quite clear to see why the overwhelming number of inhabitants presents a tremendous
problem for sustaining the people of Ethiopia. Moreover, with a life expectancy of forty-nine years as of 1994 up against a yearly population increase of 3.29% between the years
of 1988 and 1999 (FAO/World Bank, 2001) and a population density of one hundred fifty-nine people per one square mile (Anonymous, 2003), the detrimental impact of overpopulation is more than
conspicuously suspect. Indeed, something must be done to quell the continued desolation caused by overpopulation, and establishing environmentally sustainable communities would at least
be a move in the right direction. In their quest to develop living areas that are both inhabitable for mankind and the least intrusive upon the environment, developers have
put forth a great deal of time and effort in successfully combining both worlds. However, some critics claim that the efforts are too little too late in some places
like Ethiopia, inasmuch as the combination of overwhelming populations and climate increase has already rendered much of the environment as unsalvageable. (Nation By Nation, no date)
