    Yet, small farmers entering the market are competing with other similar farmers. Through a constant under cutting of prices and usage of industrial machinery to increase profit margins, farmers create unstable markets. For example, many of the farmers in Jayber Crow gave up their traditional ways and migrated to industrial practice as a result of the economy dying; it promised them larger profits, but it also created a cheap surplus of goods that loses value when they do not sell and thus rot. In an interview with Berry’s daughter Marry, she notes how current agrarian reforms forget to set up necessary outlets for farmers to sell their produce to local business; this could be a solution to controlling levels of outputted produce (Collins 5).

    The intense famines in Africa are the result of many interwoven factors, but is the final straw the lack of water? It seems that the areas that can grow crops are over-farmed, and without heat-resistant seeds and irrigation the crops that do survive are not enough. Multiple years of crop failure are the foreshadowing of famine, pulling thousands already living in poverty into the cycle of famine, illness and death. Corrupt governments misuse donated funds to support military and other ventures, keeping the growing population in poverty.
