Cereal banks in The Gambia – a case study
During the 1970s, when severe droughts affected West African farmers, cereal banks
became popular in the region. However, things quickly became very quiet again about
this type of food security scheme, probably also because many of the cereal banks
failed. Scientific surveys addressing the topic are scarce. A study in The Gambia in 2014
investigated how such cereal banks function and what the important variables for their
success are.
