Africa is fertile, why do people starve to death? Why not plant crops?

In people's understanding, the African continent is a very backward region, where hunger, plague and civil war often occur, and it is a place devastated by colonists. The African continent is a desert, but it is located in the tropics and subtropics, surrounded by oceans and fertile land, but few people are willing to farm, which often leads to famine. Why don't they grow crops?

For a long time, Africans have not paid attention to culture, and their cultural level is low and their planting experience is insufficient. It can be said that they can't grow crops. It is puzzling that China once supplied excellent crop seeds to Africa, but all of them were directly eaten by farmers. Africans have no habit of growing food, which is different from every peasant family in China. No one taught them experience.

Africans don't grow food, mainly because the environment where Africans live is rich in wild resources. There are fish and shrimp in the river and all kinds of wild fruits in the trees all year round. There is a bread tree in Africa, which is the main food source for local people. There are a lot of wild animals in the tropical rain forest. They only remember to collect fruits and mushrooms when they are hungry, and only go hunting in their spare time. The fur of wild animals can be made into clothes or sold as cash, which is the main source of farmers' income.

It is said that Africans are lazy, but it is actually the most primitive tribal life. It can be said that they live a carefree life. However, in some extreme natural disasters, there will also be no fruit, no fishing and no hunting. At this time, they will starve, especially in the continuous drought environment, people will starve to death.

Africans are used to fighting for territory, and there will be wars of annexation. In addition, European colonists plundered wealth, including minerals, slaves and natural resources, or secretly supported some countries or organizations to fight. Many people had to be displaced and could not find suitable food in new places.

Africa is generally backward, and animal husbandry and planting are in a very backward primary stage. However, because no crops are planted, the soil fertility is high and some areas are rich in water resources. If water conservancy facilities are well done, Africa's future agriculture will also develop rapidly. But first of all, we must solve the habit of planting and breeding, and cultivate their thinking for a rainy day, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of eating.
