Source of the Conflict: Food Security

Food Security:

• Conflict
• Displacement
• Poor Harvest

Conflict: Government issues (written about in "Source of the Conflict: Corrupt Government")

Also, lack in economic opportunities (people have no choice but to farm) leads to issues between farmers, agriculturalists and herders.

Displacement: Nearly 400,000 people were displaced because of the conflict between North Sudan and South Sudan. 

Poor Harvest: Drought and flood. "Human disaster mixed with natural disaster." The environment does not assist agricultural efforts because of the extremely difficult to predict weather and fluctuation in precipitation. Lack of food availability causes prices to jump, making it even more difficult to afford. (84% for meat, 45% for sugar, and 40% for vegetables. 70% FOR TRANSPORT, VERY MUCH LINKED TO ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY OF THE FOOD. Livestock vaccinations need to occur. This would provide safe animals that won't die and will produce long healthy lives full of dairy products and in the end produce healthy meat. 

Conclusion & Reflection: Three major factors above seem to lead to the lack of food in Sudan. If these issues were attributed to (obviously the government which is talked a lot about in previous blogs) but then halting of conflict, which could be solved by a solid government, and smarter agricultural practices (possibly the vaccination of livestock and attempting other farming strategies), which also could be fixed with the implementation of a solid government.
