Resilience of small-scale societies’ livelihoods: a framework for studying the transition from food gathering to food production

Abstract: . 2016. Resilience of small-scale societies' livelihoods: a framework for studying the transition from food gathering to food production. Ecology and Society 21 (4) ABSTRACT. The origins of agriculture and the shift from hunting and gathering to committed agriculture is regarded as one of the major transitions in human history. Archeologists and anthropologists have invested significant efforts in explaining the origins of agriculture. A period of gathering intensification and experimentation and pursuing a mi… Show more

“…Social organisational innovation may be the key to resolving the critical context (death by starvation and the consequent population reduction is not considered in the parameters of the model). While the promotion of cooperation reduces intraspecific competition 9 , such high-stress contexts would promote strategic and organisational change 66 67 . In this case, this means that cooperation and distribution are modified and social agents try alternatives to prevailing behaviour, even though none of them stands out and becomes predominant.…”

“…Para a análise da coevolução de capacidade adaptativa em CFP foram identificadas variáveis qualitativas em cinco dimensões: i) trajetórias de territorialização (dimensão territorial); ii) capacidade de organização e fluxos de conhecimentos (dimensão sociocultural), iii) manejo de recursos comuns (dimensão ambiental); iv) diversificação da renda de produção (dimensão econômica); v) acesso a políticas públicas e flexibilidade das instituições estatais (dimensão político-institucional) (BALBO et al, 2016;BENNET et al, 2016;FOLKE, 2016;LANCELOTTI et al, 2016;SACHS, 2002;WILSON, 2014).…”

“…Nesse cenário, a análise nas dimensões econômica e político-institucional indica que: a baixa diversificação da renda produtiva; as restrições e os retrocessos ao acesso dos recursos sociotécnicos e financeiros de políticas públicas voltadas à produção agrossilvopastoril e à conservação da Caatinga, aliados a uma visão das instituições estatais dissociada da complexidade do Semiárido, limitam a capacidade das CFP de lidar com mudanças multiescalares. A análise da resiliência enquanto capacidade dos sistemas humanos e ambientais de absorver impactos está associada à noção de uma qualidade positiva da capacidade adaptativa e pode ser indicada pela extensão, pelo equilíbrio e pela sobreposição das dimensões territorial, sociocultural, ambiental, econômica e político-institucional (LANCELOTTI et al, 2016;WILSON, 2014). Assim, o caráter resiliente das CFP parece estar centrado em sua dimensão sociocultural e territorial (desde que os direitos territoriais dessas comunidades sejam assegurados), sendo que nas dimensões ambiental, econômica e político-institucional podem tanto aumentar a resiliência como acelerar sua desestabilização.…”

“…The link between socio-cultural traits and environmental settings can be tackled in two ways: (i) through the analysis of purely environmental variables or (ii) by analysing environmental conditions in terms of their social utility (space and temporal resource availability, carrying capacity of the environment, etc.) [71]. We consider the latter to be the most suitable approach for our study, since the different systems of resource redistribution among humans connect the social domain of production with the individual domain of consumption.…”
