Four main areas of concern:
- - Labor constraints seem to have contributed to a reduction in acreage cultivated
- - A related move to less labor-intensive but less nutritious crops - ‘tuberisation’, a factor believed to hasten the onset of AIDS
- - Loss of inter-generational transfer of knowledge, particularly about agriculture
- - Stress on traditional community fostering systems
