It focuses on inter- and intra-family behavioural dynamics in rural, southern Mali. The Sahel countries are acutely vulnerable to food insecurity concerns and Mali is emblematic of this problem. The models used in this study suggest that food security in rural Mali is at risk due to the influence of external challenges on traditional behaviours, and lack of corresponding behavioural adaptation.application/pdfenSEMI-ARID REGIONSFOOD SECURITYCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREAGRICULTURAL WORKERSDIVERSIFICATIONTRADITIONAL PRACTICESMALISOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
