Abstract:
The article analyses the livelihood of peasant farmers in the rural area of three parishes in the Paute basin in Ecuador. First, the article presents the gathered empirical data of the study sites, respectively the Pichacay in the Santa Ana parish, Caldera in the Javier Loyola parish, and Llavircay in the Rivera parish. Applying the Chayanovian and van der Ploeg interpretation frames, three types of peasant households could be distinguished, based upon their specific organizational forms of producing and reproducing their livelihoods. The article concludes that a more in-depth analysis is needed in the peasant’s art of farming, particularly in their core balance of being conditioned by and linked to as well as resistant to the capitalist economy.

Abstract:
This policy brief looks at promoting Peasant Reserve Zones (ZRC) as a model for strengthening peasant communities affected by the ongoing-armed conflict in Colombia. It will also consider the direct relationship between violence, land grabs and the systematic implementation of neoliberal policies in the countryside. Likewise, this monopolistic occupation of land represents a delivered attempt to restrict peasant communities from their access to suitable territories and natural resources, often threatening traditional livelihoods. This policy brief highlights the reconfiguration of peasant communities by designing developmental alternatives at ZRC to confront land accumulation dynamics. By providing peasants with control over their territories and natural resources in ZRC the continual development of rural communities in conflict-prone areas will be guaranteed.

Abstract:
AbstractDuring the 1920s, a new genre of didactic poems prescribing the proper Islamic practice of everyday peasant lives were published out of printing presses in deltaic, eastern Bengal's small towns. This article argues that these printed poems constituted a discourse of agrarian Islam that prescribed reforms in peasant material life—work, commerce, consumption, attire, hairstyle, and patriarchal authority—as a means of ensuring the viability of peasants’ market-based livelihoods. The article examines the emergence of a small-town Muslim intelligentsia that authored and financed the publications of these poems out of the Bengal delta's small-town printing industry. Eschewing communalism as an analytical frame in understanding South Asian Muslim identities, this article argues that Bengali peasant Muslim subjectivity was located in peasant engagements with agrarian markets. Agrarian Islamic texts urged Muslim cultivators to be good Muslims and good peasants, by working hard, reducing consumption, and balancing household budgets.

Abstract:
Land use and livelihood studies rarely engage dialectical thinking to explain how change occurs in rural, peasant economies. In this paper, I employ the dialectical concepts of contradiction and sublation to investigate the ways in which livelihoods and land uses are produced together at the household scale. Using quantitative and qualitative surveys, I demonstrate the degree to which land use and livelihoods are internally related and produced together as a result of households overcoming contradictions facing them in their everyday lives. I conclude by relating these findings back to relevant theoretical concepts.

Abstract:
This paper aims to explain the decline of the peasant community in Semarang City, Central Java, by exploring the historical shifts in the city's spatial structures and livelihoods. Spatial changes and the issue of subsistence ethics simultaneously will be used to explain the peasant community’s exclusion in the city. In the early of modernization Semarang, peasant economy collapsed by deagrarianization process and creating patterns of domestication, adaptation, and marginalization. This adaptation was necessary to reaffirm longstanding communal bonds that had contributed significantly to the city's historical growth. At the same time, however, the urban peasant community was excluded, as agrarian subsistence ethics required it to remain subordinate, while the city's new economic system limited or failed their social mobility. As a result, the peasant community was increasingly left behind by the city's social transformation. Discussing the end of the peasantry during decolonialization process is as a way to find out the consolidation ability of the peasant community during a depeasantization process. This paper will answer the question how socio-economic modifications were made by peasant to navigate with gigantic changes in the city during decolonialization Semarang? Using the historical method, an analysis of a peasant community seems to be more appropriate for obtaining the process of ending of the peasantry and it took into account for both the continuity and the discontinuity process. This paper is expected to provide new facts that have implications for the writing of the Javanese urban historiography which has never been present in Indonesian historiography.

Abstract:
This article examines why peasant communities in South West Cameroon have contested a U.S.-based company’s intentions to establish an agro-industrial palm oil plantation in their region. Land investments in the form of agro plantations, if not properly conceived, negotiated, and implemented, pose a series of threats to the ecological, cultural, and economic stability among peasant farming communities, who depend on land and forest resources for their livelihood. Using Nguti as a case study, this article argues that local communities do not oppose investment in land but they contest projects that attempt to alienate them from their sources of livelihood without providing alternatives. The study also demonstrates how local communities, despite being critical of the project, struggle with the company through their relations with government, to demand new social contracts and/or memoranda that could offer them greater opportunities as economic partners. The article concludes that for palm oil plantations to be economically equitable, local communities’ incorporation is necessary to safeguard rural livelihoods and to ensure that provisions are made for adequate compensation and alternative sources of livelihood.

Abstract:
Understanding the relationship between households’ livelihoods and agricultural functions is important for regulating and balancing households’ and macrosocieties’ agricultural functional needs and formulating better agricultural policies and rural revitalization strategies. This paper uses peasant household survey data obtained from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and statistical analysis methods, to analyze the differences in livelihood assets and agricultural functions of households with different livelihood strategies and the relationship between livelihood assets and agricultural functions. Households are categorized based on their livelihood strategies as full-time farming households, part-time farming I households, part-time farming II households, and non-farming households. The agricultural product supply and negative effects of the ecological service function of full-time farming households are higher than those of part-time farming and non-farming households. Part-time farming I households have the strongest social security function, while non-farming households have the weakest social security function. Non-farming households have the strongest leisure and cultural function, while part-time farming I households have the weakest leisure and cultural function. Households’ demand for agricultural functions is affected by livelihood assets. Effective measures should be taken to address contradictions in the agricultural functional demands of households and macrosocieties.

Abstract:
Amazonia is both a diverse ecological space and a complex social place in which the conservation of its varied forest and aquatic environments cannot be divorced from the fate of its human inhabitants. Rural society is comprised of a wide range of socioeconomic, cultural, and historical groupings that includes several types of peasants or peasantries. One of the most important segments of contemporary rural society in Amazonia consists of traditional or historical peasantries, caboclo society or the so called "indigenous rural population". Events of recent decades in the Brazilian Amazon have shown that the region is susceptible to rapid degradation from modem pressures of development and an expanding population. Approaches to sustainable development need to reflect the diversity and complexity of the regions' social and physical environments. Caboclos are important for their historical place in Amazonian social ecology and for their potential contribution to the search for viable solutions to sustainable development. Sustainability will be achieved on the basis of incorporating sustainable livelihoods into a development paradigm that maintains and improves the social use of resources and the integrity of ecosystems. Rubber tappers in the state of Acre are a type of Amazonian caboclo. Their livelihoods exhibit many of the attributes of resiliency and adaptability that characterize peasantries. Resources are used, based on the demands and capabilities of household economies and in recognition of their dependence on the forest and its resources. The livelihoods that rubber tappers pursue are to a large degree, ecologically sustainable; rubber tappers are practitioners of sustainability. The diversity and flexibility of their livelihoods is geared towards low impact, long-term use of forest resources and is highly adaptable to variable socio-political, economic and environmental conditions. Extraction of forest resources is a major component of rubber tapper livelihoods that encompasses rubber tapping, Brazil nut collection, hunting, fishing and myriad uses of other forest resources. Their livelihoods also include a farming system that is adapted to both the social conditions of rubber tapper society -limited capital and technology, dependence on household labour - and to the ecological constraints of Amazonian environments - weak tropical soils, seasonal changes, and variability. The composition of their livelihoods permits each sector of the household economy to function within local environmental constraints and to escape the need to independently fulfill household subsistence requirements. Extractive reserves provide a locally derived model of socially acceptable, conservation oriented development.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the intersection of gender, households, and the non-timber forest product market. Based around the concept of commodity chain analysis, this research examines each stage in two non-timber forest products', straw brooms and coco baskets, life cycles from extraction to final sale. The first objective of this research is to contribute to the literature on NTFPs, and in general gender roles in Latin America, by examining the gendered division of labor within and among the stages of two specific NTFP commodity chains, and the ways in which this division influences how important these products are to household income and conservation. The second objective is look at how commodity chain analysis can be used to examine the above issues, thereby contributing to both NTFP and commodity chain analysis literature. The research shows that the construction of gender in Nicaragua underlies the different roles that men and women perform throughout the two non-timber forest product chains. The two chains represent varying degrees of participation by women and men, and this difference is explained by the prevalence of certain tasks. In the basket commodity chain there were more tasks that are labeled feminine, and in the broom commodity chain there are more tasks labeled male. In addition, the varying participation of men and women influence how income from these products are viewed within the households as well as where men and women stand as conservation stakeholders. Commodity chain analysis served as a useful tool to examine more closely the relationship of gender and households in non-timber forest products, and could be of great assistance to the various development projects using these products as a tool for sustainable development.

Abstract:
Financing peasant farmers using sustainable and effective approach can reduce poverty level significantly among peasant farmers. Development Institutions and government deploy various financing models to fund peasant farmers as a means of intervention to alleviate poverty. This study assesses and compares two financing model i.e. matching grants and microcredit in order to know which model has greater impact in improving livelihoods of peasant farmers so that it can be advocated for as a model best suited to fund peasant farmers. The respondents for the study are peasant farmers who have accessed funding from Vision Fund Zambia a microcredit institution and Smallholders Agriculture Promotion Program an Institution that provides matching grants. The study is based on assessing livelihood improvement of peasant farmers using Care International framework that is focusing on capabilities, economic activities and assets. A total of one hundred and forty six respondents were selected using simple random procedure. The data was analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). Using descriptive statistics and focus group discussions, the finding shows marginal difference in livelihood improvement between microcredit and matching grants on assets and capabilities of the respondents. Matching grants exhibit higher impact on economic activities of the recipients as compared to microcredit. The study recommends that institutions offering matching grants must consider streamlining the process of project approval and disbursement while microcredit institution must tailor their services to client's needs and charge interest taking into consideration the vulnerability context. Overall matching grants are a better model for financing poor and vulnerable peasant farmers.

Abstract:
One of the primary challenges facing researchers and practitioners in their efforts to address issues of poverty and environment is the need to deepen our understanding of the logic that guides local people's decisions over resource use, particularly among the rural poor whose livelihoods depend on fragile and dynamic environments. This study seeks to identify the set of factors that influences how rainforest people respond to abrupt natural disturbances and resource scarcity through changes in livelihood and resource management practices in two rural poor communities of the Peruvian Amazon. Data were gathered through in-depth survey interviews (n=95 households) between June and December 2003 in the Amerindian community of Arica Viejo (Ucayali River) and the mestizo (ribereno) community of Roca Fuerte (Maranon River). The results reveal that socioeconomic characteristics such as forest experience and knowledge, and access to agricultural land explain striking differences among households in livelihood responses to environmental change, particularly concerning resource use behavior, resilience to disturbance, and the propensity to adopt sustainable resource management strategies.

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the utilization of land as a socio-economic livelihood resource. Based on a case study of peasant owned land in Tooro Kingdom, different uses to which land is put are studied in relation to their importance to people’s efforts towards sustaining livelihoods. An underlying thinking is that current ways in which the resource is being used do not necessarily exhaust all its potential.Therefore, there is a possibility that the socio-economic productivity of the resource can be enhanced through finding solutions to the challenges being faced in its use.

A sustainable livelihood framework is used together with realism theory to give the study a theoretical background. Here, land is viewed as a natural resource whose livelihood potential can be utilized depending on not only people’s capacity to identify that value and continuously utilize it for their benefit, but also based on factors beyond the control of the individual land users or owners. A qualitative research methodology was the main tool for generating research materials during the research process. Emphasis in this was laid on research interviews, fieldwork observations and a study of secondary research sources with a questionnaire being used in situations where it was preferred to interviews by respondents.

The findings show that some peasant owned land in the study area is being used for socio-economic livelihood purposes. These range from either subsistence or commercial uses to a combination of both. The findings also show that the application to which this land is put and the derived benefits are both affected by factors including those linked to the land user/owner’s capacity to utilize the resource, land’s ability to respond positively to the uses to which it is put as well as the general conditions within which the resource is used. It is also shown that it is important to attend to challenges faced in the use of peasant owned land if its livelihood productivity is to be enhanced.

The study concludes that one of the main socio-economic uses of peasant owned land as a livelihood resource in the study area is in the agricultural production of food stuffs needed to feed the growing population. Land is also vital as a physical ground on which to set up human settlements. Other uses including quarrying, brick making and construction of shops provide a source of income that is used to purchase items that may not be produced by the individual households and yet are important for their survival.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates how the inhabitants formed the coastal landscape of northwest Estonia through both internal change and external impact by estate owners, provincial government and imperial decrees. Two villages on the largely Swedish populated Noarootsi peninsula, Einbi (Enby) and Kudani (Gutanäs), are examined in detail. The aim was to answer questions about how the local livelihoods and farming systems of coastal inhabitants changed from the late 1600s to 1940. The background of a gradual weakening of the manorial estate system from 1800 onwards and a rapid development of freehold family farming from the 1860s is important to the analysis. To examine the complex variety of factors and interactions that shape the landscape, an interdisciplinary approach to change has been used. This approach included a conceptual model for the local production unit, such as the individual farm. Information from historical maps, diverse population registers and agricultural censuses were used. The soil cover was examined with samples taken during fieldwork in the studied villages. The study shows how the development of two villages in fairly similar geographic settings differed largely due to socio-political restrictions. During feudal times, the primary changes were related to the fact that local nobility could maintain their land ownership rights and regulations for manorial deliveries and corvée duties. Changes to natural conditions, such as soil quality and land uplift, had no substantial effect on land productivity. From the 19th century, the most important factor was the legalized opportunity to purchase farms as freeholds from estates, as well as through land reforms in an independent Estonia. The traditional niche of coastal Swedish peasants, who depended on a variety of productive activities, remained in practice. As all manor land was nationalized, many new smallholdings and crofts were created based on external activities by inhabitants, such as farm day labor. Farm productivity was now increased primarily by improvement to land quality (use of artificial fertilizers and meadow drainage), and by the introduction of new implements and crops on farms consolidated from open fields.

Abstract:
Access to markets is increasingly regarded in development circles as a critical factor in determining livelihood choices in peasant economies. In the northeastern Peruvian Amazon, a multitude of river transporters and market intermediaries based in the central city of Iquitos provide essential services and market opportunities for remote peasant producers across the region. Using a multi-scalar, multi-method approach involving extensive fieldwork in the Peruvian Amazon, this research (re)assesses the meanings and implications of "remoteness" and "connectedness" for rural peasants. At the regional scale, I examine the functional heterogeneity of river trading networks and marketing agents. Given the high-risk/high-transaction-cost environment, river trading is found to be expensive for producers and traders alike. High costs are exacerbated by the low gross returns of rural production (mainly food and natural building materials). Thin or missing markets for credit, labour, land and insurance increase the hardships associated with limited access to product markets. Regional findings are complemented with a comparative livelihoods analysis in two remote communities of the Alto Tigre River that benefit from differential access to oil-labour. My study reveals that differential access to labour has significant impacts on the livelihood strategies of working households. However, given limited access to external markets, cash-income from oil-labour is found to offer limited opportunities for growth. In sum, the research proposes insights for advancing the debate on livelihoods and poverty in the Peruvian Amazon.

Abstract:
Poor people in rural areas of developing countries are considered to be particularly vulnerable. Research shows that the rural poor tend to live in risky environments and face greater difficulties coping because they are excluded from formal safety nets and have few assets. Today, there is much concern that risk, especially environmental risk, contributes to perpetuate poverty and threatens livelihood security, yet our understanding of the implications of environmental risk for rural livelihood remains incipient. This dissertation explores peasant livelihood within the context of environmental change through a study of peasant responses to rapid river changes along the Central Ucayali River, a highly active meandering river and a major Amazon tributary in Peru.
Livelihood responses to floodplain dynamics were examined using the case of a recent meander cut-off near the city of Pucallpa as a "natural experiment." Participant observation and a household survey with 68 ribereno households, in three different villages upstream and downstream from the cut-off, served to investigate: (1) livelihood before and after the cut-off; (2) the role of humans in facilitating the cut-off, (3) land tenure; and (4) the links between shocks and asset evolution.
Descriptive analysis indicates that riberenos modified their livelihoods in response to the biophysical changes attributed to the cut-off and derived important economic opportunities. Results suggest that riberenos actually intervened to facilitate the cut-off to reduce travel time and make boat travel safer. Despite the potential for unclear rights and overlapping claims, due to land instability and the coexistence of formal and customary tenure rules, land disputes did not result in physical violence. Examples from two villages were used to illustrate how tenure rules are renegotiated as the resource base expands or contracts. Descriptive and statistical analyses show that riverbank slumps were the main form of risk along the Ucayali and, despite their direct effect on land holdings, environmental shocks did not necessarily constrain land accumulation or increase inequality. This study argues that environmental risk can increase vulnerability and reduce welfare but, under certain circumstances it creates new opportunities for rural people in developing countries. The implications of these findings for vulnerability reduction, human adaptation to environmental change, and Amazonian cultural ecology are discussed.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação aborda o tema das estratégias de meio de vida à luz das mudanças climáticas. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa se propõe a combinar três temáticas: o modo de vida dos camponeses, a percepção ambiental e a estratégia de meio de vida. Assim, a pesquisa procurou responder quais estratégias de meio de vida, as famílias adotam para enfrentam a seca que afeta a vida dos camponeses do posto de administrativo de Mahel, no distrito de Magude, na província de Maputo, em Moçambique. O objetivo principal da pesquisa é compreender as estratégias de meio de vida (reação ou adaptação) que as famílias camponesas adotam em função dos ativos disponíveis na unidade produtiva familiar, numa situação de mudanças climáticas, neste caso da seca que aflige as famílias camponesas do posto administrativo de Mahel. Para tal, formularam-se três hipóteses: (1): as famílias elaboram estratégias de meio de vida; (2): as estratégias de meio de vida estão em função dos ativos disponíveis na unidade produtiva familiar e dos fatores sociodemográficos; e (3): A partir de percepção das mudanças climáticas, os homens elaboram estratégias de meio de vida para responderem o impacto das mudanças climáticas. Convém mencionar que em função da complexidade dos dados que se pretendia coletar, estabeleceu-se método qualitativo (estudo de caso), através de entrevistas semiestruturadas centralizadas nos chefes dos agregados de onze famílias. A escolha das onze famílias deriva de um conjunto de fatores, como dispersão da população em pequenos territórios e produção na propriedade. Portanto, estabeleceu-se metodologia por etapa, isto é, uma pesquisa a partir de um local específico para posteriormente expandir para outras áreas. Vale mencionar que a escolha dos chefes dos agregados deve-se ao fato destes influenciarem nas estratégias de meio de vida nas unidades produtivas familiares. As variáveis de análise foram os ativos: humanos, naturais, sociais, financeiros e físicos. Deste modo, estavam criadas as condições para a realização da pesquisa, a qual veio confirmar as hipóteses, porque as famílias estabelecem estratégias de meio de vida em função dos ativos disponíveis na unidade produtiva familiar, sendo as estratégias determinadas pelos fatores sociodemográficos da unidade produtiva familiar. Para o caso específico do posto administrativo de Mahel, os ativos humanos e naturais têm mais impactos que os demais ativos. Assim, as famílias elaboram estratégias de reação, garantindo assim a manutenção do modo e condição de vida campesina, neste caso em apreço, a sobrevivência, o que significa que satisfaz a demanda interna com menor penosidade.
This dissertation addresses the issue of the strategies of livelihood in the light of climate change. In this sense, the research aims to combine three themes: the way of life of farmers, environmental awareness and the strategy of livelihood. Thus, the research sought to address what livelihood strategies, families adopt to face the drought that affects the lives of peasants Mahel administrative post in the Magude district of Maputo province in Mozambique. The main objective of the research is to understand the livelihood strategies (reaction or adaptation) that peasant families adopt depending on the assets available in the family production unit, in a situation of climate change, in this case the drought afflicting the peasant families of the post administrative Mahel. For this, three hypotheses were formulated: (1): families prepare livelihood strategies, (2): living through strategies are depending on the assets available in the family production unit and sociodemographic factors; and (3): From perception of climate change, the men prepare livelihood strategies to respond the impact of climate change. It should be noted that due to the complexity of the data that was intended to collect, was established qualitative method (case study), through centralized semi-structured interviews in the heads of households eleven families. The choice of the eleven families derived from a set of factors such as dispersion of the population of small regions and the production property. Therefore, it was established methodology by step, that is, a search from a specific location to further expand into other areas. It is worth mentioning that the choice of the aggregates of the heads is due to the fact that these influence the strategies of livelihood in family production units. The analysis variables were assets: human, natural, social, financial and physical. Thus were created the conditions for the research, which confirmed the hypothesis, because families establish livelihood strategies depending on the assets available in the family production unit, and the strategies determined by sociodemographic factors of family production unit . For the specific case of the administrative Mahel post, human and natural assets have more impacts than other assets. Thus, families prepare response strategies, thus ensuring the maintenance of order and peasant living conditions, in this case, survival, which means it meets domestic demand with less painfulness.

Abstract:
The agricultural land around Shanghai is famous for its huge population and intensive cultivation. With the expansion of the metropolis, a large number of agricultural people have entered the city to work, and rural land has been abandoned1,2. In 2009, Kunshan City implemented a land transfer system, and 99% of the cultivated land was packaged for large scale farmers, and initially realized large‐scale operation3 . However, the large‐scale business model has gradually experienced problems such as predatory management, ecological destruction, and no sense of social responsibility. Through the establishment of agricultural land share cooperatives, Changyun Village took the lead in realizing the collective management of agricultural land, taking shares in the land, giving priority to paying dividends to the land, and paying wages to the farmers working in the cooperative. The peasants' enthusiasm for entering the city has become an important buffer for the migrants to work in Shanghai and surrounding village.It has increased the employment rate. At the same time, it has supplied green agricultural products to the city, passed on agricultural technology, and activated local communities. This article intends to analyse the correlation between several village share cooperative models based on Changyun Village and the large family farm contracting model of more than ten villages, and the satisfaction of villagers, combined with property rights theory, scale economy theory, and accounting cooperatives. Cost‐benefit, evaluate the effect of “long cloud-style” collectivization on revitalizing the surrounding villages of metropolises and assess the satisfaction of governments at all levels. Through field interviews and questionnaire surveys, the correlation analysis of village cadres and villagers' satisfaction was conducted. The government is optimistic about the role of the "long cloud model" in grassroots management and improvement of people's livelihood. Even if public finances are required to invest a large amount of money, it is necessary to strengthen the medical and social security of the villagers. The government is also quite satisfied with the Changyun model. At present, the economic benefits of the stock cooperatives have steadily increased. Although the growth rate is not large, the villagers have a strong sense of well‐being, and the village's ecological environment has been improved. In the future, the cost of the village will be reduced after the large scale operation, and the overall economic benefits will be improved. The future research direction will be how to solve the specific problems that plague the cooperative's production and operation, such as low rice prices and lack of high value added finishing facilities to continue to activate the surrounding areas of the metropolis and improve the satisfaction of the government and villagers.
