The basis of a population’s livelihood changes with environmental changes. The populations who lead a partly sedentary and partly nomadic life in the arid zones of Africa have to adapt repeatedly to environmental and political conditions. Thus, in times of drought, Himba women in Namibia tighten their belts in the literal sense of the word in order to reduce the feeling of hunger. The Zaghawa in Chad reduce their foodstuffs to powder form to make them go further. The Hai//om of Namibia shared the animals killed in the hunt according to well-defined rules in order to guarantee a supply for everyone. The inhabitants of Fransfontein in Namibia help each other out with food and other objects of everyday use when things are in short supply.
