How do people adapt and survive in the harsh environment of the drought-prone Sahelian region, south of the Sahara desert? This work examines choices facing farmers in this region, and includes a discussion of crop choice, attempts to improve yields, investments in equipment, and the effects of these decisions on family and household organization.
