Ethiopia is a fertile country, and yet it suffers from hunger. Most of its population of 90 million – 83% – live in rural areas and make their living mainly from family farming. The most fertile land – around 35% of the total – is suitable for crops or livestock, and 40% of this is used just for crops.
