Sustainable Livelihood Approach

A ecologia política e o sustainable livelihood approach são respectivamente abordagens teórica e metodológica voltadas para o debate sobre temas relacionados a desigualdade social e o estabelecimento de metas para o combate à pobreza. Ambas são recentes no campo da pesquisa científica. A ecologia política foi germinada no período das grandes conferências ambientais da ONU e o sustainable livelihood approach foi concebido durante a década de 1980 com vistas a entender os principais fatores que contribuem com a pobreza em áreas rurais de países africanos.  Este artigo tem o objetivo de desenvolver uma aproximação teórica entre as abordagens estudadas e dessa forma contribuir com as discussões sobre as desigualdades no acesso aos recursos naturais e os desdobramentos para a pequena produção agrícola no Brasil. Para o estabelecimento deste trabalho foi realizado um amplo levantamento bibliográfico para identificar os pontos que unem a teoria da ecologia política e a prática metodológica do sustainable livelihood approach. Em seguida foram elencados os principais problemas identificados nas pesquisas de campo em Petrolândia e estabelecida relações com as abordagens em questão.  Neste quesito foram analisados pequenos produtores de coco dos Perímetros Irrigados de Apolônio Sales e Icó-Mandantes. Nesses perímetros encontram-se agricultores com diferentes contextos socioeconômicos, porém com a mesma origem de reassentamento e subsídio estatal. Todos são oriundos de uma transferência forçada em função da construção da Usina Hidrelétrica Luiz Gonzaga. Neste sentido, o estudo pretende iniciar um debate sobre as principais razões dessas diferenças e visualizar prováveis soluções.

Sustainable Livelihood Approach

This chapter presents the framework of sustainable livelihoods. The interests of this chapter derive from three issues: (1) How can one determine who in the population achieves a sustainable livelihood and who does not? That is, how does sustainable livelihood assist in eliminating poverty and reduce deprivation in rural communities? (2) What livelihood resources and institutional processes are necessary for enabling or constraining sustainable livelihoods for different groups? That is, does household livelihood help individuals or families to escape poverty? (3) What are the practical, operational, and policy implications of adopting a sustainable livelihood approach to poverty reduction? Namely, what constitutes a satisfactory basis for adopting a livelihood framework?

This paper aims to identify effective mechanisms for government poverty alleviation measures based on the livelihood sustainability of farm households in Southern Shaanxi province, China. The paper utilizes data from 414 farm households, collected through field observations and in-depth interviews in 24 rural communes in Qinba Mountain Area of Shaanxi province, China. Using theoretical research methods and employing the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) framework, this paper analyzes poverty alleviation measures as well as the impact of varied capital availability on sustainable livelihood. The study shows that developing local industries and governmental financial support improve the sustainable livelihood of farmers and eradicate absolute poverty. The findings of this study further indicate that there is a positive correlation between poverty alleviation measures and natural and social capital for sustainable livelihood. The paper provides empirical and quantitative evidence on alleviation of poverty, and the findings will help improve the sustainability of livelihood capability of farming households. This study suggests impactful approaches to stabilizing mechanisms for poverty alleviation in rural areas over the longer term.

The Impact

The repercussions of reforming an agricultural market are mainly observed at the most vulnerable segment of the value chain, namely, the producers. In the current commodity market created with trade through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX), coffee is less traceable to its producers. Only cooperatives that sell certified coffee through the unions they belong to, are allowed to bypass the more commodified ECX market. This study aims to investigate if small-scale coffee producers in southwestern Ethiopia that sell coffee through the certified cooperative are better off. It is assumed that the coffee sales through, and membership of, a cooperative, allows farmers to improve their coffee production as well as to improve other aspects of their livelihood. A sustainable livelihood approach was used as the inspiration for the welfare indicators that needed to be considered, data collected amongst members and non-members of certified cooperatives, and a propensity score model to investigate the impact of cooperative membership on the livelihood indicators. Results suggest that members of certified cooperatives indeed receive, on average, better prices. Yet, no evidence was found that indicates that the higher price is translated into better household income. Furthermore, coffee plantation productivity of those members who were interviewed was lower than that of the non-members. This finding could explain the failure to find an overall effect. Since the majority of the producers’ income emanate from coffee, a sustainable way of enhancing the productivity of the coffee could revitalize the welfare of the coffee producers.
