    • Factors affecting development
      • Economic factors affecting economic development
        • Marketable surplus agriculture = rise in productivity
        • Natural  resources
          • The land area, the quality of soil, forest wealth, good river system, minerals, oil-resources, good and bracing climate
        • Capital formation = Raising the level of production
        • Conditions in foreign trade
        • Economic system and historical setting of a country
      • Non-economic factors
        • Political freedom
        • Scientific and technological knowledge advancements
        • Human resources

        • Social organisation
        • Corruption is the most negative impact for economic
        • The desire to develop
    • Causes of uneven development
      • Historical factors
        • Conflicts
        • Wars
        • Political activities
        • Corruption
      • Physical factors
        • Climate
        • Relief
        • Natural hazards
      • Economic factors
        • More jobs
        • Higher wages
      • Social
        • Better housing
        • Better services
          • Quality of healthcare
          • Quality of education
      • Environmental
        • Better living conditions
    • Uneven development in the UK
      • Common Agricultural Policy
        • This is given to ensure a minimum level of food production for Europe's population
          • It helps to give farmers a good standard of living
            • It also requires farmers to meet environmental and animal welfare standards
      • Structural Funds
        • A region qualifies for this if it has less than 75 per cent of the average GDP for Europe
          • It gives money to help with the region's infrastructure, especially transport
      • European Regional Development Fund
        • This includes the Urban II fund, which targets deprived areas in cities
          • The level of deprivation is calculated by the rate of unemployment in the area
            • It helps to provide social and economic regeneration in a sustainable way
    • Global inequalities
      • Food security
        • Food security is when people have enough nutritious and affordable food to eat
          • Wealthier countries import food and subsidize farming to make food more affordable
            • This creates a food surplus and there is plenty to go around
      • Food insecurity
        • Food insecurity is when people go hungry or are malnourished
          • Poorer countries have a food deficit
            • They struggle to grow enough to feed people and cannot afford to subsidize farming or import more food
      • Water
        • There is a fixed amount of water on the planet. Some is stored in the ice caps and some circulates in the water cycle
          • The amount of water available in an area is dependent on factors such as rainfall, temperature and population
      • Energy
        • Some countries produce large supplies of energy
          • They may have fossil fuel reserves or access to other energy sources, such as geothermal heat.
            • Other countries are dependent upon imported fuel
              • Fuel prices are set by the exporting countries and so those importing fuel often have to pay high prices
        • Places that have energy security produce a high percentage of energy that they consume
          • Places that have water insecurity consume more than they produce
            • Energy security is determined by the balance between the amount of energy produced in the country and energy imported abroad
    • Malawi
      • Location
        • Located in southeastern Africa, bordered by Zambia to the north-west, Tanzania to the north-east, and Mozambique to the south, south-east, and south-west
      • What is it like?
        • Rural isolation
        • Air pollution
        • Landlocked
        • Water pollution
        • Changing climate
        • Cash crops (Farmers only grow crops to sell them)
        • Colonisation
        • Global trade
