Title: In search of sustainable livelihood systems
Description: "The contributors to this important volume adopt a holistic approach to understanding rural livelihood systems. They maintain that a livelihood system embraces not just the economic conditions for physical subsistence, but all the elements that provide material continuity and cultural meaning to the life of a family or a community. In this framework, the contributors explore and analyse a diverse range of rural livelihood systems based on fieldwork in a variety of contexts." "With its numerous important insights into a variety of crucial aspects that have a direct bearing on sustainable development, this book will be of considerable interest to students and practitioners of rural development. It will also interest all those working in the areas of economics, social change, natural resource management, and agricultural economics."--BOOK JACKET
