| Abstract | The Tana Beles area in Gojam, Ethiopia, is one of the largest conventional resettlement sites in Ethiopia. In the mid 1980s almost 80 000 people from different parts of the country were transferred here. Its core, the Beles Valley, covers an area of 220 000 hectares. The resettled population have come from very dissimilar geographical areas and are having to face severe difficulties adapting to the new environment. Most troublesome are the changed climate, farming practices, consumption patterns and food habits as well as the struggle with unfamiliar diseases. Malaria, the most common cause of death in the resettlement area, and trypanosomiasis, the most widespread livestock disease, did not exist at all in the places most settlers originated from. |
