Publisher's Synopsis
To consider the construction of a community development thought in sub-Saharan Africa, starting from the symbolic meaning of the ethical diet, solicited as an expression of the identity of the peoples, is certainly to try to highlight the idea according to which: "a society only really develops according to its own formula". The development formula specific to any society refers above all to the organisation of the thoughts and behavioural habits of the people who make it up. It may well be a question of eating habits. Indeed, when a people chooses to eat in a certain way, it decides at the same time on the quality of the living being that it should be. Recourse to ethics is therefore essential for them to adjust their actions in line with their responsibilities towards their environment, as a place where any possibility of having to be is inflected.
