    Le foncier est une question à la fois stratégique et centrale dans les processus de développement, et pour cause : la terre avec ses immenses ressources qu’elle englobe, est le premier intrant de la production.

This study reports the findings of group meetings in nine local districts (communautés rurales) in eastern Senegal about recently mapped corridors.
