It highlights the associated healthcare systems and how these have contributed to some of the challenges faced, and goes on to elaborate on the significance of community involvement in infectious-disease prevention, management and control. It also emphasizes the importance of surveillance and setting up strategies on infectious-disease management that are favourable for poor communities and developing countries. Infectious Diseases and Rural Livelihood in Developing Countries allows students, researchers, healthcare workers, stakeholders and governments to better understand the vicious cycle of health, poverty and livelihoods in developing countries and to develop strategies that can work better in these regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural households can generate income from farm, non-farm, remittances and social support capabilities. It is observed that that policy intervention by the government to promote diversification among rural households has made only marginal changes and diversification is more of a household survival strategy. There has been an improved income for those households who have diversified and more of diversified households have come out of poverty. An inverse relationship between land holdings and diversification is observed and there is no significant difference between income earned from agricultural activity and non-agricultural activity with respect to richer households. The process of rural diversification in livelihood has to be strengthened to minimise the risk and uncertainty in the income earning capacity of rural people and smoothen the income flow so that the rural poverty can be brought down and the levels of living can be enhanced.

Download or read book Rural Livelihood Diversification in West Bengal written by Dilruba Khatun and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about how increasingly rural households are diversifying their livelihoods away from a reliance on farming alone towards other income generation activities that raise much needed cash and help to spread risks. It describes the challenges that they face in establishing and developing their activities and businesses, including both internal and external influences often beyond their control. Written in a very simple and lucid style, the book attempts to document and analyze the complex processes and outcomes related to diversification of rural livelihoods in West Bengal, India. The thematic issues of access, opportunities, challenges and impacts of rural livelihood diversification, covered in this book, are expected to be of interest for a wide constituency, including researchers, development practitioners, rural animators, and policy makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.

Book excerpt: One of the most promising approaches to poverty reduction in developing countries is to encourage sustainable livelihoods for the poor. This takes account of their opportunities and assets and the sources of their vulnerability. Based on recent and extensive research, this volume thoroughly assesses the value of the livelihoods approach to urban poverty. The book reviews the situation and strategies of the urban poor and identifies the policies and practical programmes that work best. Lasting improvements depend not just on economic development, but on political commitment and structures that are responsive to the claims and needs of different groups of poor people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines livelihood diversification as a survival strategy of rural households in developing countries. Although still of central importance, farming on its own is increasingly unable to provide a sufficient means of survival in rural areas. The paper's objectives are first, to increase awareness of livelihood diversification in approaches to rural development; second, to consider the interactions among diversification and poverty, farm productivity, natural resource management and gender relations in rural areas; and third, to advance the policy understanding of diverse rural livelihoods.

Download or read book The Rural-Non-Farm Economy, Livelihoods and Their Diversification written by Junior R. Davis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that rural populations across Africa, Asia and Latin America rely on rural non-farm economies (RNFE) for between 30 percent and 50 percent of their income. These activities are evidently economically important, but they are also extremely complex and difficult to measure, making it hard to determine suitable policies. To clarify key policy issues, we analysed 55 donor RNFE and livelihood diversification projects and summarised the emerging issues. The RNFE refers to all income-generating activities in rural areas that are not primary agricultural production (meaning activities other than growing crops, fishing or forestry). They may take place on farms, despite being described as "non-farm" activities. Factors affecting the development of the RNFE exist on three levels: (i) Household level factors include assets of household members (finance, education and experience) and social capital (such as social networks and information sharing). (ii) Group level factors are valuable local natural resources, the quality of local governments, local infrastructure, links to towns and trade. (iii) Socio-cultural factors include ethnicity, gender, religion and caste, which often influence power relations and, consequently, people's ability to access certain income-generating activities. The most important questions for the paper and policy makers are whether the RNFE contributes to poverty alleviation and, if so, how to encourage it.
