It argues that high population growth and economic backwardness are dependent variables which contribute significantly to rapid resource depletion, and hence to environmental degradation. In other words, peasant agrarian economic conditions stimulate the demand for larger families which leads to high population growth in turn. A change in one of these variables will necessarily lead to changes in the other, and both of them have an impact on the environment. The conclusion drawn is that attempts to reduce population growth need to be linked to the war against poverty and environmental degradation. Efforts should be directed to changing traditional ways of life by eliminating poverty and improving the means of production in the rural areas. Such efforts will ease the demand for children and reduce fertility levels in the long run.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/026858095010001003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,10]],"date-time":"2007-03-10T23:21:39Z","timestamp":1173568899000},"page":"35-50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["POPULATION GROWTH, AGRARIAN PEASANT ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN TANZANIA"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Ndalahwa Faustin","family":"Madulu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"`Masai Pastoralism in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area: Sociological and Ecological Issues'.","author":"ARHEM, K."},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00369229218736836"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"`Crop Diversification and Food Security on Household Level with Special Reference to the Cultivation of Vegetables and Fruit Trees: The Case of Ufipa Plateau, Rukwa, Tanzania'.","author":"BERNHARD, H."},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"320","volume":"67","author":"DARKOH, M.B.K.","year":"1982","journal-title":"Geography"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"The Population of Tanzania: An Analysis of the 1967 Population Census","author":"EGER\u00d6, B."},{"key":"atypb6","unstructured":"FAO.          1993.
