Investigations to identify the causes of high mortalities in cattle in the agropastoral zone (ZAP( of Yale started in March 1993.

Efforts to develop high-yielding, stable, early-maturing sorghum varieties in northern Cameroon produced an apparently resounding success with on-farm tests of the variety S35 from 1983-85. This caused great excitement and led to the recommendation of S35 to the regional extension agency in 1986....

The neoclassical economic paradigm views market linkages as efficient mechanisms for trading. However, the validity of this position is questionable, as markets frequently do not possess the structural conditions necessary for perfect competition. In subsistence-farming systems, factors that prev...

In this case study of the Yale agro-pastoral zone in southern Burkina Faso, the sustainability of tsetse control as a local public good was shown to depend upon farmers' contributions to establish and maintain the traps and targets that attract and kill tsetse flies. Contingent valuation (CV) tec...
