land tenure
As decentralisation and tenure reform sweeps through the Sahel, doubts remain whether communities can look after commonly owned land.

land economics
This research uses field-level data from Burkina Faso to ask what determines farmers' investment in two well-known soil and water conservation techniques: field bunds (barriers to soil and water runoff), and microcatchments (small holes in which seeds and fertilizers are placed). Survey data for 1993 and 1994 are used to estimate Tobit functions, compute elasticities of adoption and intensity of use, perform robustness tests and estimate alternative models.

Les déficits pluviométriques périodiques ainsi que les fortes pressions humaines et animales dues à une croissance démographique élevée ont eu des impacts néfastes sur la plupart des écosystèmes et certaines espèces forestières. Différentes actions ont été réalisées afin de tenter de reconstituer le milieu naturel mais sans grande efficacité. La conservation et la gestion rationnelle figurent au nombre des options stratégiques adoptées afin de restaurer l’équilibre écologique, bien qu’elles soient toutefois limitées pour diverses raisons.
