• How do small-holder farmers understand insurance, and how much do they want it? Evidence from Africa. (2010, background): “Other research has examined how responses are mediated by farmers’ perceptions of climate variability and risk (Orlove and Kabugo, 2005), or farmers’ asset base and their capacity to buffer risk (Osbahr et al., 2008).”
• Evaluating Successful Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change in Southern Africa (2010, background): “…of exchange were relatively inclusive in Nwadjahane, with positive reinforcement of reciprocal arrangements that provided access to land and labor (Osbahr et al. 2008), in Mantsie, despite many active ties, 83% of ties were based on exclusive networks, reinforcing existing inequalities within…”
• Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “Agricultural production is the main economic activity for rural communities of vulnerable regions such as Africa and India (Chatterjee, Chatterjee and Das 2005; Osbahr et al. 2008).”
• Climate Change and Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Literature Review (2010, background): “Adaptation will be unavoidable, raising the importance of identifying and examining opportunities for developing anticipatory responses, particularly for vulnerable populations [7,16,17].”
• Linking smallholder farmer climate change adaptation decisions to development (2016, background): “For example, local connections were critical for smallholders in Mozambique and allowed them to utilize the traditional ‘gift system’ to cope with climate shocks and exchange labour to repay gifts or receive food (Osbahr et al., 2008).”
