This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: DPSIR_bluenile_holistic, low productivity low food security and livelihood, periods of hunger, cash crop production (rice, onion, pepper, tomatoes, noug, chickpea) to generate income can partly compensate low food security and livelihood, periods of hunger, Responses Pressures, ecological degradation (soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, ...) low productivity, food demand production of field & horticultural crops, livestock, apiculture; fishing (three agro-ecological zones, p.175), production of field & horticultural crops, livestock, apiculture; fishing (three agro-ecological zones, p.175) land conversion for agricultural production (deforestation, shift from pasture to fields, encroachment of wetlands), Responses Drivers, population (growth) (estimatet population of Ethiopia: 82.102m, growthrate 3.2%) energy demand, land conversion for agricultural production (deforestation, shift from pasture to fields, encroachment of wetlands) ecological degradation (soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, ...), State Impact, increasing evapo- transpiration depletion of water resources, rising temperatures rise in occurence of drought, cash crop production (rice, onion, pepper, tomatoes, noug, chickpea) to generate income can partly compensate low capacity to store food, population (growth) (estimatet population of Ethiopia: 82.102m, growthrate 3.2%) food demand, agricultural practice training to increase crop yields, maintaining fertility levels can help to improve low productivity, rise in occurence of drought depletion of water resources, Pressures State, decrease of native ecoregions, forests ecological degradation (soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, ...), changed rainfall amounts and patterns (mono-modal pattern, actually 1103- 1336mm/y) increasing evapo- transpiration, energy demand planting of eucalypts for fuel wood
