La déroute d'un système vivrier au Burkina
Agriculture extensive et baisse de production
Abstract
The ruin of a food crop system in Burkina: extensive agriculture and less produce. -- In Northern Burkina the agrarian structure has regressed during recent decades because agricultural techniques have been set aside that used to intertwine permanent intensive agriculture with extensive temporary agriculture. Today, permanent agriculture is practised everywhere, but the soil cannot be restored. Consequently, output has been decreasing as has the man/hour ratio. This process is not only linked to population growth but also to the atomization of production groups.
