Abstract:Focusing attention on subsistence cultivators is one of the logical starting points for examining rural Africa from a geographical perspective. This overview of the rural African is concerned with a sequence of four interrelated factors: 1) the dominant mode of food production; 2) the environmental setting; 3) a scheme for organizing terrestrial space at a local scale; and 4) a systematic approach to migration. Sections Introduction - Systems of production - Environmental hazards (the agricultural continuum; the interdependence continuum; the mobility continuum; other categories of adjustment) -The arrangement of rural settlements - Mobility - Applied geography - Resettlement - Conclusions: prospects for rural development.
