Abstract:

In Sudanian Savanna of West Africa, we can find numerous densely populated areas and these areas have common features in their livelihood systems: “intensive agriculture” and “refined resource use and management”. In this presentation, I will discuss about technical and institutional factors which had formed these features, and also its recent reform under changing socio-economic and environmental conditions, based on the case of the Sereer people living in Senegal.
