| Research Abstract |
African peasants and their societies have coped with various external changes both natural and socioeconomic changes by taking action. And these actions contributed to the drastic change in agricultural production. We tried to make clear the backgrounds and processes of these actions by conducting field research from behavioral point of view. Field studies were carried out both in the rural and urban areas in Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia.
It has become clear from the study of Nigeria that daily life in the urban areas was neither stable nor better off than that of peasant farmers, however, as the amount of wage earner's cash income was bigger than that of peasant farmers, people would not go back to their home villages even if they had been laid off.
On the other hand, laborers in constraction sites in both Nigeria and Zambia are not settled down in near place to the sites. They have no opportunity to earn cash income in their homeland, and this is main reason that they come to the site.
Our main finding from the research on small and medium scale manufacturing establishments in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania, is that this sector's activities have a close relationship to that of agricultural sector.
The result of our studies of various areas can indicate that there is a variety of activities taken by peasant farmers to cope with external changes.
