Exploring the food crisis in Africa at the level of local production, this book of essays offers a series of anthropological and ecological views on the causes of famine and the coping strategies employed by both indigenous peoples and development planners. By focusing mainly on production and consumption at the household level, the editors can offer incisive perspectives on the environmental, historical, political, and economic contexts for food stress.
