Ashley Snyder/January 31/5:04pm/Food Scarcity/Post 3
My last post concerned Zimbabwe's food shortages due to misuse of land and the overflow of rains that are ruining whatever crop may have grown in the fields. This week I'm reporting on the inability of Kenyan farmers to grow crop due to a shortage in rain.
The shortage of rain last year (2007) is having lasting effects as it spills over into this year, causing insufficient pastures, drinking water, and crop yields.
This article is not very long, I chose it because it deals with the countries that I'm focusing on, but also depicts how two areas on one continent are facing the same problem, yet in contrasting ways.
