First of a series of documents by CNRA researchers.
This document presents a set of five articles and a
bibliography on rural economy and sociology. The first
article by J. Faye discusses an approach to rural development
research in Senegal based on a combination of onstation
technical research and on-farm research problems
at the farm level, using the framework of the "Unites
Experimentales." The third abstract by P. Nernus and E.
Tchakerian outlines the technico-economic approach to
integrating crop and livestock production. In the fourth
paper, M. Fall summarizes ISRA's approach to the study of
farm economics. Finally, M.B. Cattin discusses management
advise to farmers.

Analyzes the agricultural sector of Senegal, including an
assessment of its organization, its place in the economy and
the main events in its evolution from 1960 to 1975. The factors
explaining the present level of production (land, climate, labor,
and limited agricultural policy alternatives) are discussed.
Past and present experiences with technology transfer and appropriate
technology are discussed. The paper is designed to serve
as background information for a regional model and simulation of
Senegalese agriculture.

Presents results of a linear programming model relating
units of the production system to agricultural and nutritional
policy objectives in Senegal. The construction of the model and
its adaptation to regional conditions of Senegalese agriculture
are presented. The model is then tested, by using it to simulate
