In essence, scarcity is the event that prods individuals to make a choice. The chapter is concerned with individual decision making, as well as the factors that are considered whenever farmers judge cultivation sites for new gardens. It also addresses the question of rights to access to cultivable land and discusses the flexibility of land tenure arrangements within Wola. Tacit knowledge on the factors that affect farmers' choices for land are discussed as well.
