Le comportement des producteurs et la cohérence des politiques alimentaires et environnementales au Burundi

Changes in feeding habits of populations constitute an important aspect of food security but their prediction is very difficult. In this way, we carried out a socioeconomic analysis showing that, from the behavior of producers, we can predict changes in food demand and incorporate them into food and...
