  abstract = {{T}he whole population of {A}ribinda, the {K}urumba, remained until the end of the 19th century within the limits of a small area covering about 25 km2. {B}ecause of the short supply of land, intensive cultivation of millet was carried out on sandy soils. {L}ater on, thanks to greater security and to the increase in population, the {K}urumba managed to settle, outside this original territory, all over the present region of {A}ribinda. {I}ntensive practices were then progressively given up, and a geographical difference started to appear in the cultivation system. {T}he iler, an implement allowing faster weeding, was adopted in the north of {A}ribinda although its use progressively impoverished soil fertility, and led to the search for a new solution. {H}erdsmen imigrating with their cattle in the early 20th century provided it; the iler will be henceforth associated with cattle manuring on the northern sands. {S}outh of {A}ribinda, the hoe is still used today as before. {T}here, however, the thinner sandy soils were washed away after a few years of cultivation. {O}ther imigrants from the beginning of the century, the {M}ossi, led the {K}urumba to another change : adopting mossi cereal seeds, they started to cultivate sorghum on the low clayed lands. {T}hese two choices, north and south of the region, correspond in fact to a single strategy : fields indeed have to be scattered over the region because of the great irregularity of rainfall. {T}hey may be found on sandy soils (the iler makes this strategy possible), or on different soils with different characteristics (the hoe can be used on any kind of soil). {I}n sowing as many different cereal varieties as possible, raising their own cattle, farmers diversify their production and in so doing diminish the risks of penury. {A}ll those changes in agricultural skills have been made possible by the contact with other ethnic groups, with other kinds of production and other techniques.
