    Malawi’ s smallholder agriculture is facing a crisis, particularly in the more populated south. There is an insidious combination of land shortage, continuous cultivation of maize, declining soil fertility, low yields, deforestation, poverty and high population growth rate. Smallholder farmers are doing what they can to maintain household livelihoods under these difficult circumstances, however many of their actions, which are necessary for short term survival, such as the cultivation of hillsides, are not sustainable in the long term.

    Soil erosion is widely considered to be a serious threat to the long-term viability of agriculture in many parts of the world. The problem is particularly serious in certain developing countries. This paper examines key factors affecting smallholder farmers, decisions about soil depletion and conservation. The analysis focuses exclusively on the on-site productivity losses due to soil erosion in an attempt to understand farmer behaviour, thus ignoring any externality effects or off-site costs.

    La principale thèse de cet ouvrage est la structure des filières de commercialisation des vivres en Afrique subsaharienne qui, en fait, ne dépend que de deux facteurs, à savoir les caractéristiques de l’aliment en question et le niveau de développement du pays. Dans les pays africains, comme partout dans le monde, un système de commercialisation des produits vivriers comprend un circuit informel et un circuit formel. L’importance de chacun de ces deux circuits diffère généralement selon le niveau de développement économique du pays.
