These populations are from diverse linguistic and subsistence system affiliations, and have extensively escaped the influence of the Bantu migration, which contributed greatly to homogenize the population diversity in the bulk of sub-Saharan Africa below the Belt (Gurdasani et al. 2015; Silva et al. 2015).

Although the harvests were seasonal and based on resource availability, the subsistence harvests were diverse and the subsistence activities were organized as kinship or family activities with foods being shared with relatives and elders and also extending to community members in need.

Using 'narrative walks' as a qualitative method to construct grounded data, we explore the social and natural dimensions of the complex, diverse and uncertain landscape and life-worlds of subsistence agriculture.
