Book Synopsis Growing Livelihoods by : Rhonda Phillips
Download or read book Growing Livelihoods written by Rhonda Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community planning is starting to include a broader food systems focus, spanning topics such as nutrition and health outcomes, sustainable farming practices, economic and social implications of local food production, distribution, and consumption. Together, these issues are a driving force for the passions of those seeking positive change in their communities through healthy food. The purpose of this book is to explore how and where local food and farms, as part of a local or regional food system, can positively impact both economic development and overall well-being of communities. Across North America, there are good examples of the ways in which innovative local food systems provide opportunities for: increasing job growth and entrepreneurship; retaining local farmers on their land while nourishing their community; and providing communities places to congregate, bond, and become closer-knit. Six such examples are highlighted, each illustrating a novel model offering unique contributions to community economic health and well-being. These important cases offer practitioners, advocates, academics, and students insight into how applications can be built or studied in their own communities.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Rural Development by : Mary Emery
Download or read book Sustainable Rural Development written by Mary Emery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together several systems-level approaches to the consideration of the interaction of livelihood choices, natural resource management and participatory action research on sustainable development. By focusing on these approaches to community change, the volume hopes to encourage readers to consider how they might adopt methods such as Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA), Community Capitals Framework (CCF) and Participatory Action Research (PAR) in their own research, practice and teaching. Thus, this volume will engage readers in reflection about the importance of systems-level approaches that address poverty from the perspective of the poor, natural resource management that maintains the resource for future generations, and the engagement of local people in designing and implementing, and thus owning, strategies that address equity as well as economic security and the environment. This book was originally published as a special issue of Community Development.
Book Synopsis Towards a Local Livelihood Security Framework by : Vinayak Vishnu Damle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capturing the voices of the small and marginal women farmers in the tribal-dominated Dungarpur district of India’s Rajasthan state, this survey demonstrates that the populace in certain remote and underdeveloped areas is prepared to embrace a self-help–based approach in place of policies that often amount to little more than charity and foster dependency. The book acknowledges the validity of the goal of universal social security and a safety net, but argues for reviving a genuine initiative in the area of decentralization and laying the foundation for a local livelihood security framework. The evidence gleaned from the modest study in Dungarpur is of significant consequence in the context of the current debate on strategies for poverty alleviation, social security, and growth in the face of a fast deteriorating international economic environment, unabated domestic inflation, rising fiscal deficit, and a sharp dip in India’s overall growth rates.
Book Synopsis The Utility of the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework in NGOs in Peru by : Heather Rena Hughes
Download or read book The Utility of the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework in NGOs in Peru written by Heather Rena Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) has slowly emerged over the last twenty years as a response to a call for more sustainable development and effective steps toward poverty alleviation. SLF emphasizes the importance of a sustainable livelihood, using the resources to which one has access, and recognizing the vulnerabilities, policy, and other forces that may affect livelihood security, while striving to achieve the outcomes local people seek. This framework has been applied amply to poverty reduction efforts in Africa and Asia, but very llittle of it has been seen in Latin America. NGOs play a crucial role in implementing and utilizing the framework in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in poverty reduction as laid out by the UN. This thesis analyzes rural development NGOs' goals, principles and methodologies in Peru, comparing them to SLF for similarities and differences in current approaches. Using a three phase process of individual interviews, a presentation on SLF, and follow-up group interviews for each of 12 NGOs, data was collected on current practices and NGO opinion of the possibilities of utility of the framework in their work of poverty reduction in Peru, as well as their perception on donor agency influence on their projects and methodologies. The study found that NGOs in Peru are using many elements of SLF, including the goals, principles, and capitals component. These elements are present in the NGOs, but are not being applied as holistically as the framework suggests. Methodologies differ in that SLF focuses on analysis, while the NGOs tend to focus on technology transfer. Donors do have influence on methods and projects, and it would be beneficial for donors to contribute to NGO learning of SLF. Overall, NGOs expressed interest in learning more about SLF for possible implementation, and stated it would be useful for their work in poverty reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and provides reasoning for computed methods of local climate dynamics and the livelihood vulnerability indices assessment in the mountainous region of Himachal Pradesh, India. The outcomes of this study agree with the focused objectives on simulating climate change and its impact on livelihood security. It deals with several crucial methodologies to analyze livelihood security with and without climate change. The explorative deductive approach was used to observe climatic changes since the 1970s and simulated the climate until 2080. Additionally, the composite livelihood vulnerability index (LVI) without climate change and the climate change livelihood vulnerability index (CCLVI) with climate change impact were prepared. The book is beneficial for policymakers who are involved in framing and implementing policies chiefly in the Himalaya. It is also valuable for all stakeholders in society: students, researchers and academicians. It proposes discussions and debate on a new, integrated, inclusive and open approach to climate change and validates the significance of geographic knowledge in addressing climate change issues at various levels, suggesting policy measures to cope with them.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Livelihood Approach by : Stephen Morse
Download or read book Sustainable Livelihood Approach written by Stephen Morse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all view the ubiquitous term ‘sustainability’ as a worthwhile goal. But how can we apply the principles of sustainability in the real world, at the sharp end of communities in developing nations where income insecurity is the troubled norm? This volume provides some practical answers, explaining the precepts of the ‘sustainable livelihood approach’ (SLA) through the case study of a microfinance scheme in Africa. The case study, centered around the work of the Catholic Church’s Diocesan Development Services organization, involved an SLA implemented over two years designed in part to help enhance its existing microfinance operation through closer links between local communities and international donors. The book’s central conclusion is that we must move beyond the concept of sustainable livelihood itself, with its in-built polarities between developed and developing nations, and embrace a more global notion of ‘sustainable lifestyle’; a more nuanced and inclusive approach that encompasses not just how we make a sustainable living, but how we can live sustainable lives.

Book Synopsis A Sustainable Livelihood Approach to Poverty Reduction by : Vishwambhar Prasad Sati
Download or read book A Sustainable Livelihood Approach to Poverty Reduction written by Vishwambhar Prasad Sati and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a socio-economic and livelihood analysis of agriculturally-dependent communities of Mizoram, the eastern extension of the Himalaya, using the sustainable livelihood approach. Such an approach to poverty reduction is inevitable, particularly, in areas where livelihoods depend largely on biomass-based agriculture and livestock production. Mizoram possesses abundant natural resources – land, water and forest – but those resources are largely unused. The region suffers from chronic poverty and malnutrition, and climate change has further influenced livelihood patterns. This work studies all the aspects of natural potentials and livelihood status in Mizoram. It also discusses the major driving forces that influence livelihood patterns. Based on a detailed analysis of empirical data, several policy measures are suggested to cope with chronic poverty and malnutrition. The book is therefore highly useful for all stakeholders; students, researchers, academicians, policy makers and politicians involved in rural/community development.
