| El presente estudio comprendió el análisis de los medios de vida y estrategias de las familias productoras de hule (Heveacultoras) de las comunidades de Francisco Martínez Gaytán, Laguna del Rosario y Ej. El Guanal, del municipio de Huimanguillo, Tabasco, bajo el enfoque de Medios de Vida Sostenibles (MVS); teniendo como objetivos conocer la vulnerabilidad ecológica, social y económica de los hogares e identificar el contexto de vulnerabilidad y las estrategias de medios vida implementadas por estas familias. Encontrándose que las familias más vulnerables son aquellas cuya economía depende del trabajo de los jefes de familia como picadores en las plantaciones de hule, tienen menor acceso a los servicios de salud, educación, agua, luz y caminos, con... |

| This brief summarizes detailed analysis of the determinants of household crop income in rural Mozambique from 2002 to 2005. Increased crop income is associated with increases in household land area, use of animal traction, crop diversification into tobacco or cotton, access to market price information, and access to extension agents (for tobacco/cotton growers). Decreases in crop income are associated with drought. Results demonstrate that there are both public and private investments that can enhance farmers’ ability to increase crop income and avoid losses. Priority investments include: development and dissemination of drought-resistant varieties for maize and cassava, conservation farming, animal traction, market information, access to high-value crops... |

| Dimensions of the nature, scope, and complexity of collective action in Kenya have evolved over many years. In studying collective action, the aim is to understand why and how people participate in networks of trust. The purpose of this study was to investigate the different objectives that farmers pursue through collective action with the aim of understanding the patterns of people’s participation in collective action, identify factors that influence people to join groups, and identify the costs and benefits of participating in activities of groups. The study was carried out in four sites spread across the highlands of central Kenya. Data was collected from a total of 442 households, focusing on whether members of those households belonged to groups and... |

| Farm families often hold large quantities of wealth and, like any other family, assess their financial progress by reviewing their net worth (or wealth) position periodically. Wealth has an impact on many decisions such as production, retirement, and succession of the farm. Households, in general, seek stability growth in wealth and, ideally, income as well. In the case of wealth, farm households will be better equipped to handle variability once the contributing sources are identified. This study measures how much of the variability in farm household assets and debt is attributed to the variability in farm and nonfarm sources of assets and farm and nonfarm sources of debt. Using a normalized variance decomposition approach and data from the Agricultural... |
