Sustainability and migration: experiments from the Senegalese peanut basin
Abstract Many experts have concluded that migration and regional diversification are necessary steps to combat soil degradation and income erosion in the Sahel. Through observation and experiments conducted with two Senegalese village Social Accounting Matrices, the socioeconomic and environmental impact of migration and diversification out of agriculture is examined. Economically, it is found that migration can result in substantial increases in village income. These increases are accompanied by a shift in inter-compound income distribution and a shift in intra-compound access to agricultural income. Socially, the cost to the family of increased migration could be high due to the emergence of single parent households. Environmentally, the impact of migration and diversification out of agriculture need not be positive. Stress on the environment might be reduced through curtailing peanut production, but reductions in the agricultural labor force could actually reduce the possibility for labor intensive soil conservation, increase the possibility for millet mono-cropping, and increase the incidence of extensive but sparsely cultivated land because of land-tenure insecurity due to current usufruct laws.
