The desert and mountainous regions provide little or no vegetation, which dominates Afghanistan’s topography. The Hindu Kush divides the country, virtually isolating the northern region from the rest of the country. Hindu Kush limits the vegetation in the eastern and central regions however, gives way to few grasslands and plateaus. “The north is Afghanistan’s “bread basket,” while land fertility in the south and east is constrained by lack of water” (Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, 2010).

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan withstands severe climates and rugged terrain that hinder their potential of more food for its citizens. The country’s location is centered on historical trade and invasion routes while Afghanistan is completely landlocked and resides miles away from coastal lines. Their military lacks funding, organization and personnel. Other nations are compelled to support Afghanistan financially and run their military missions due to lack of training and experience. With all of Afghanistan’s geographical and military flaws, their population continues to
