Abstract
An overview is given of agricultural and demographic development in West Africa over the past decades. It is argued that the alarming situation justifies increased international attention for this poorly endowed part of the world, where people face increasingly harsh living conditions. The reader is then introduced to the structure of the rest of the report.
