North Africa
Population and Settlement
Africa has a small population (968 million) with a high natural increase and is largely comprised of underdeveloped countries (high infant mortality, low GDP, low literacy rate). North Africa has a young population with a high natural increase. Coastal areas and the Nile are the most populated, and settlement is mostly rural.
Economy
The North African economy relies on subsistence agriculture with low productivity. Despite a wealth of natural resources, there

Mining
Natural Resources
Natural resources, such as minerals, water, and forests, are found naturally in the environment. The exploitation of natural resources depends on:
- Technology: This makes it possible to obtain natural resources in different ways.
- Cost: The benefits must be greater than the cost of its exploitation.
Consumption is very high in developed countries. Less developed countries are the biggest producers of natural resources.
Mining Activity
A mineral is an inorganic natural substance,

SHIPPING WORKS
The global maritime activity in 2003 totaled 24.589 billion tonne-miles of goods loaded, with an annual growth rate of 0.5%. Crude oil, iron ore, coal, cereals, and containerized cargo are the main goods transported. Overall, all ports on the west coast of South America are not enough to move 1% of the global burden, and only 5% of the global burden moves to or from the Southern Hemisphere.

Cattle
When discussing cattle, distinctions must be made between:
- Broiler meat production
- Dairy milk
These specializations are so distinct that mixed breeding is no longer profitable.
Cattle production in OECD countries is increasing and is currently three times higher than U.S. production.
Within the EU
Germany and France, with outputs greater than 20%, hold significant influence over legislation in this field. Spain, with production up to 6%, has faced

Ranching in Spain
Ranching in Spain is based on the coexistence of diverse livestock species within the same region. These typically involve indigenous, hardy breeds raised on small farms using traditional, extensive systems.
Modern farming practices have significantly transformed the structure and production of ranching, leading to higher yields.
a) Changes in Density Structure
Key changes include specialization, modernization, and intensification:
- Specialization: Production is increasingly focused
