This synthesis forms a part of the Kano-Maradi Study of Long-term Change in which six hypotheses on population density, markets, technological change, integrated agriculture, income diversification and resource tenure/institutions are tested in the context of dryland management. In Maradi Department, a pessimistic scenario of rainfall decline and drought, increasing population pressure, land scarcity, and degradation of natural resources was widely accepted in official and scientific circles in the 1970s and 1980s. The impact of policy on dryland management and the livelihoods of small farmers and livestock producers is examined, focusing on economic management and prices, land tenure and forestry.\r\n\r\n
