“…Achieving a sustainable livelihood will increase a household's ability to manage stress, as well as maintain and enhance a household's capabilities and capital without destroying natural resources [12]. The different forms of livelihood capital include natural capital (e.g., land), physical capital (e.g., durable goods), human capital (e.g., household size), financial capital (e.g., deposit), and social capital (communication cost), which are widely used in previous research [13,14]. The sustainable livelihood analysis framework developed by the UK's International Development Agency endeavors to establish the logical relationship and interaction mechanism among livelihood capital, livelihood activities, and livelihood consequences [15].…”

Abstract:Household welfare is inseparable from the environment because of its dependence on ecosystems and their services. However, linking household welfare and ecosystems in order to inform differentiated household livelihood development in spatially heterogeneous regions is still a great challenge. Based on a field survey of 1754 households, we grouped the relationships between household welfare (defined by total income) and ecosystem reliance (expressed by an index of dependence on ecosystem services) in the Watershed of Miyun Reservoir, the only source of surface water for domestic use in Beijing, China. The relationships can be grouped into four types: high welfare and high dependency; low welfare and low dependency; high welfare and low dependence; and low welfare and high dependency. Family structure, households' education and skill level, and the proximity to Beijing have significant impacts on household welfare, while the quantity of natural capital and eco-compensation fund significantly contribute to the ecosystem dependence. Maintaining suitable family size and age structure, improving education and skill levels, and strengthening payment for ecosystem services within low welfare households would be effective approaches to their welfare improvement. The above classification can help design tailored policy and management options to promote sustainable livelihoods based on different household subgroups.

“…The literature review assesses different credit schemes applied in different geographical [29][30][31][32][33][34], and historical contexts [35][36][37][38], to analyse the range of options available to farmers. Literature of the past 10 years was reviewed, featuring a wide range of financial schemes including public and private credit, formal and informal schemes, credit for farmers and credit for the poor, microfinance and different inclusive models for agricultural development.…”

A major obstruction in the development of sustainable agriculture is the weakness of the financial and banking sectors in supporting smallholder farming. While farmers need to invest in their farms, they struggle to find credit schemes adapted to their specific needs. This study explores the literature on a range of credit systems applied in different geographical and historical contexts to analyse the underlying drivers of their successes or otherwise. In light of this review, the study investigates a farmers’ association, Alfredo Namitete (AN), in Mozambique, offering a range of agroecology credit modalities. It is then assessed as to whether a new business model initiated with seed funding could be self-managed by the association itself and lead to greater autonomy. The AN pilot tested three schemes between 2015 and 2019. Based on the findings, i.e., better production, increased revenue and greater self-determination, the study combines elements for a new business model for small-scale lending. It concludes that to be effective, a credit scheme needs to meet several conditions simultaneously: believe in the genuine will to repay, abolish the lender–borrower distance, ensure a role for women in decision making, add a savings mechanism, combine individual and collective investments and, finally, reserve funds for solidarity and climate issues.

“…We then assume that, in the pre-shock period , households are characterised by a series of strategic assets = { , , , }, where stands for natural capital, denotes human capital, and , are vectors of financial and social assets, respectively (Scoones, 1998;Bebbington, 1999;Ellis, 2000;Niehof, 2004;Martin and Lorenzen, 2016;Asfaw, Pallante and Palma, 2017;Nguyen et al, 2017). During the pre-shock period, the resilience is expected to be at the minimum level given that households have not experienced any shocks, although they may be aware of future occurrence of potential extreme events.…”
