TY - JOUR A1 - Hahn, Hans Peter T1 - Ethnological approach of terrace farming T2 - Berichte des Sonderforschungsbereichs 268 N2 - The vast distribution of terraces in the geographical Sudan zone of West Africa leads to the question why and under which conditions an agrarian society might apply this particular form of farming. From an anthropologist's point of view it is essential to understand why farmers practise this form of farming and therefore try to explain the reason for it. The best way to gain insight is the description of terrace farming and when taking a closer look, we realize that farming is nowhere only an isolated agricultural activity.
