Change in Land Use

The socioeconomic transformation among the Fogera Plain people in Northwestern Ethiopia is remarkable. The process of change from predominantly transhumant cattle herding to rice cultivation and irrigation based agriculture is due to external intervention in consideration of the ecology to the east of Lake Tana. Theoretically, the finding of the study goes with broad political economic perspective for the analysis of transformation in rural community.
