Abstract: [eng] Sabine Planěl — Realities, perceptions and uses of « green famines » in Southern Ethiopia.. In Ethiopia, the mechanisms of redistribution of food aid are profoundly unequal depending on the regions, due to the remarkable ignorance of the various agrarian systems. Therefore, since their appearance in the 1980's, the «green famines » of the Ethiopian South, former granary, receive less aid. The case study of Wolaita, hereby presented, shows how inherited representations of space, territories and societies, shape the management of food aid policy at times without any relevance to food problems, with the resulting risk of aggravating preferences and ethno-regional inequalities as regards development in a weak federal country.
