Answer 2

The important cause of political conflict in the regions of "Central America" is that there is a shortage of available farmland to meet the needs of a growing population.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the last census, the average population growth rate for Central America was recorded to be around 7%.

• The Central American region is one of the fastest-growing regions, whereas, the state of Colorado is the "second fastest-growing state" in the US.

• This rate of rise in the population is causing the available farmlands to fall short in producing sufficient yield to meet the needs of the population.

• The businesses that are growing in this region are mainly that of real estate and trading.

• These businesses are also occupying more and more agricultural lands causing minor political conflicts.
