Abstract

AbstractThe historical pattern of drought and its impact upon African peoples and their agricultural productivity is reviewed. Future droughts are inevitable, but when and with what severity they will occur is unpredictable. Where they will strike is well known, and if immense human tragedies are to be avoided, both governments of drought-prone nations and donor agencies must make a long-term commitment to agricultural research and development, to decentralized strategic food stocks and to population control.
