Three hypotheses are advanced to explain the damage to crops caused by Quelea quelea: 1) non-availability of wild gramineous seeds, which are usually the normal quelea food| 2) ready availability and ease to access to crops| 3) marked preference
for crops. Cage experiments on food choices among some of the most frequently eaten seeds, demonstrate quelea's preference for seeds of the size of millet. Since seeds of this size are scarce in the quelea habitat, this suggests that quelea would tend
to damage crops, even if wild grass seeds were abundant.

of the shift toward or away from staple food cropping across Brazil. The index is presented as an important methodological step toward a systematic geo-graphic understanding of crop share changes surrounding food versus fuel and other nonfood crop production.
Brazilian agricultural census data at the municipal level are used to develop and map a simple index of staple food versus nonstaple food agriculture for Brazil over time (1996–2006). The results show spatial variation in the direction and degree

This paper focuses on urban crop cultivation (UCC) and examines men’s and women’s motives and needs in UCC, the (perceived) contribution of UCC to household livelihoods, and the benefits men and women derive from it. Although the contribution of UCC
to overall household food and incomes appeared to be modest, for the majority of farming households such benefits were nonetheless greatly valued and bore varied and important meanings for men and women. The paper also examines the implications of recent
