- Summary:
- How do people adapt and survive in the harsh environment of the drought-prone Sahelian region to the south of the Sahara desert? The author attempts to answer this by examining choices facing farmers in this region. The work includes a discussion of the choice of crops, attempts to improve yields, investments made in equipment, and effects of these decisions on the family and household organization.
