1.1 Brief Introduction of Tanzania
Tanzania is among of the Eastern African countries, bordering Kenya and Uganda to the North, Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC to the West, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the South. To the East is the Indian Ocean, and the islands of Mafia, Pemba, and Zanzibar (CIM, 2013). The name Tanzania itself derives from the country 's two states, Zanzibar and Tanganyika in 1964. Zanzibar is an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania. Tanzania is the 31st largest country in the world and the 14th largest in Africa, with 947,300 square kilometers of land (WPR, 2014).

Over 80% of the population lives in rural areas and their livelihoods depend on agriculture. The sector accounts for 26.4% of the GDP, 30% of export earnings and 65% of raw material for domestic industries, however, the sector experience low growth. Given the importance of the sector as a source income, employment and food security, this low growth has translated into little progress on poverty reduction (Hepelwa, Selejio, and Mduma, 2013).
According to Hepelwa et al, (2013) agriculture in Tanzania is dominated by smallholder farmers with typical farm sizes ranging from about 0.9 to 3 ha occupying 91% of the total area under agriculture while the remaining 9% of the land is held by large scale farmers.
The country has 95.5 million hectares (ha) of land, of which 44 million ha are classified as arable, but only 27 per cent of the arable land is under cultivation. The area suitable for irrigation is estimated to be about 29.4 million ha, but only 0.34 million ha are under irrigation (IFAD,

Founding Farmers, located in Tysons Virginia, is a country like restaurant that serves all American food. It is located very close to the Tysons corner Mall and Tysons 2 mall. Because Founding Farmers is so close to these heavily commercialized places, you will always find it to be packed. Although it always has customers to be served, I find this restaurant to be one of the best out there. It is a great place to go after work with friends, with your family, or even just alone!
Before Uganda was formed by Britain, it was split into two different territories, Buganda and South Uganda. Buganda was the most well-known of these territories and began to grow rapidly in the 18th century. The had spread to border
Africa was a giant magnificent cake. Many countries scrambled to cut into it and claim their own pieces of it as if it was theirs for the taking. The last unconquered piece of land was up for grabs which evoked top nations into sending explorers to claim the land for them. Africa during the rule of King Leopold II had many unexplored areas included his newly acquired land the Congo. The King’s charm, altered treaties, and a money hungry drive have all lead to the underlying problem of exploitation of the natives.

The Civil War had already ended when agriculture began to develop, bringing about changes across the country, particularly in the West. American agriculture began in rural regions that were urbanized, resulting in a surge of people in the fields and cities where employment and hard labor were supplied manually. It has grown significantly as a result of advanced economic and social changes towards its industrialization for expansion. It increased production among the families of farmers, who served through hard and difficult situations. Throughout the period of 1865-1900, American agriculture changed rural inhabited areas, expanding prospects for migration and urbanization, industrialization growth with advanced machinery, and evolved farming
“The vision of a huge fertile garden extending from the Appalachians to the Pacific Ocean had inspired Americans since the early days of the republic” (Out of Many - A History of the American People, pg. 622). Since its beginning, the American ways of farming had always been gradually evolving, but in the time between 1865 and 1900, it transformed like never before. The American tradition of agriculture would experience dramatic changes, as the growth of production and agribusiness would ensue from revolutions in technology, massive increase in population, and alterations in government policies. A major factor in changing the way of agriculture was the new technology being developed in farming and transportation.
“An in-depth analysis on effects of Imperialism on Rwanda” Nowadays, European countries such as England, France, Germany, Belgium, and many other countries possess a colossal clout throughout the world. It is an impeccable fact that such countries, indeed, have served as a rudiment pivot and step for the world to be advanced to the point where we are since the Industrial Revolution. Such countries, because of it, without a doubt, have a crucial status globally and become the superpower and commercial hub on our planet. On the back side of their gleaming growth, however, there is an invisible part left behind their luminous development: the Imperialism. The term “Imperialism” refers to a policy of extending a country’s authority and political clout by using its military forces and diplomacy.
Africa is the second-largest continent in the world, with diverse physical features such as deserts, forests, mountains, rivers, and savannas. The geography of Africa played a crucial role in shaping the development of early African kingdoms and empires. It influenced their political, economic, and social systems, as well as their interactions with neighboring regions. This essay explores how the geography of Africa influenced the development of early African kingdoms and empires.
Globalization is the inclusion of the differents values socio-cultural and economic local from one country to another, through their relationships exchanged a series of products and knowledge that extend and increase their ideological and economic situation.

Hunger in Ethiopia Every day the world develops widely and jumps great leaps in technology. Yet lots of unfortunate people die every minute caused by famines, civil wars, and rapacity of some who rape others rights and dreams of decent lives. Today in the 21th century shamefully, there are a lot of starve, literally, to death. Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition.
During the period of imperialism in Africa all of the countries were competing for the title of being the richest and the strongest. In fact, the whole scramble for Africa was an opportunity for countries to enhance their overall economy. For example, King Leopold II of Belgium was determined to get the area of land so he can become more wealthy. France’s politicians thought that an overseas company would strengthen the country when it came to wealth, prestige, and power, so as a result they invested in land more toward the west and north-west. Britain wanted to protect their trading routes which required them to purchase land in East Africa, and they they soon discovered the rewards of the land so the were determined to obtain as much as possible.
The African Union is one of the world 's most dominant intergovernmental operations. The AU has clearly had reasonable achievements through its direct contribution and partnership with the international body to resolving and decreasing conflicts in some of the region’s hotbeds. This essay will cover its successes as well as weaknesses in terms of strengthening its ties amongst the member states through social, economic and political matters. The African Union came about in July 2002 and consists of 55 member countries.
