Auteur :
CAMPBELL, D. J.

Description :
The data currently used to assess the emergence of local deficits are criticized as being inaccurate or belated. The range of strategies for coping with food deficits used by farmers and herders in rural Africa offers an alternative set of information which has the potential for improving the spatial specificity of early-warning systems.
