There's a song about 'lemlem Ethiopia' stuck in my head. I just can't get the words out.
Our current government has/had this dream about an 'Agricultural revolution' in Ethiopia. It seems our lemelem country is particularly unviable for agriculture (I am assuming that's all Eth has and has already exhausted as a resource). More here.
It's very strange that Ethiopia's resource consumption ratio is as high as that of developed nations as the United States and countries in Europe, or as that of super-populated nations like India and China.
Having said that, I am be curious to know what figured into calculating the resource per capita ratio for those maps and figures.
