Abstract

Deagrarianization and non-agricultural activities in rural Tanzania. Although agriculture is still the predominant sector of the Tanzanian economy, the number of rural households relying solely on agriculture is declining noticeably. Due to the socio-economic changes in the wake of structural adjustment, the mounting dissatisfaction with agriculture as a source of income and the growing shortage of good agricultural land, rural dwellers have taken up a variety of non-agricultural activities such as trade, handicrafts, mining, services, paid employment in and near the village or elsewhere. Deagrarianization is part and parcel of a wider spatial and socio-economic differentiation process and has contributed to the increasing social tensions between the sexes, generations and village communities, rural and urban areas.
