| description | Technical and socio-economic aspects of transhumance in the soudanian zone of the Bougouriba (Burkina-Faso). The analysis of the situation of the Peul cattle breeders in the Bougouriba valley shows a will of sedentariness which has given rise to a cute sociological problems. Natural forage resources are abundant and of good quality, but are not very accessible due to inercasing land occupation by crops and because of conflicts between herders and farmers. The productivity of sedentary breedings is very low and does not allow modernisation of the traditional agricultural system, while transhumant herds show much better production parametres. The authors suggest that the AVV, a national organism which is responsible for the valley development, should favour sedentariness of Peul breeders and their herds in areas where human occupation is actually low, and should create pastoral reserves where cattle can move freely. |
