Improving the education of girls and women is likely to lead to an increase in the overall education level and literacy rate of the area, which can lead to improved farming practices, better nutrition, and more efficient use of resources. This could result in an increase in food production, which would help to improve the food/population ratio. Decreasing food imports (A) may help in the short term, but it would not address the underlying issues of food production and could result in negative consequences such as food shortages. Increasing birthrates (B) without a corresponding increase in food production could exacerbate the problem, while encouraging cash crop cultivation (C) may lead to increased income but may not necessarily improve the food/population ratio as cash crops may not be suitable for sustenance.
