While I do agree with most of your arguments, sfs, I just wanted to point out one way we could develop better, sustainable agriculture in African countries. One major problem facing their agriculture is the political theater and its refusal to accept the scientific consensus on GMO foods. Several African countries have refused aid from the United States while millions of people in their country were starving because the products were GM and could not be exported as easily to other countries. Well, countries beginning to accept these crops could allow these developing nations to use them to create a surplus on some foods through increased yields and provide a means of feeding their populations more easily. The surpluses can be used to export and generate more wealth. Zambia refuses GM 'poison'Allowing increases could decrease the reliance on bush meat, but I agree that the necessity of proteins makes the banning of bush meat extremely unlikely. Perhaps increasing the nutrient load by increasing crop yield can allow a reduction and make it more feasible to employ standards on what bush meat is consumed...but when food is low, we will still see subsistence farmers rely on whatever protein they can come across to supplement their diet.
