Links between the Local Trade in Natural Products, Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation in a Semi-arid Region of South Africa (2008, background): “The use and sale of products may take place on a regular basis, seasonally as a gap filler, or only in times of emergency providing an important fallback option or safety net ([McSweeny, 2004] and [Takasaki et al., 2004]).”
Invisible But Viable: Recognising Local Markets for Non-Timber Forest Products (2007, background): “In other cases, households may trade in NTFPs only in times of hardship, with this activity forming an important safety net or fallback option (McSweeny 2004, Takasaki et al. 2004).”
Safety Nets, Gap Filling and Forests: A Global-Comparative Perspective (2014, background): “In previous studies, households that turned to forests and forest resources as a coping mechanism were found to be more likely to be headed by young males (Fisher & Shively, 2005; McSweeney, 2004), to hold less land, and to have larger households and thus extra labor available (McSweeney, 2004; Taka”
Poverty, development, and environment (2010, background): “This link between asset poverty, lack of income opportunities and resource extraction as insurance may also be very significant in many tropical forest regions, where the livelihoods of the poor often depend on the extraction of biological resources in fragile environments (Pattanayak and Sills, 200”
From Subsistence to Safety Nets and Cash Income: Exploring the Diverse Values of Non-timber Forest Products for Livelihoods and Poverty Alleviation (2011, background): “In these situations these products function as safety nets, providing people and households with fallback options (McSweeny 2004, 2005; Takasaki et al. 2004).”
Managing the Miombo Woodlands of Southern Africa: Policies, Incentives and Options for the Rural Poor (2010, unknown): “These studies strongly indicate that woodlands have a role to play as natural insurance (e.g. see Pattanayak and Sills 2001; Takasaki et al. 2004; McSweeney 2002, for insurance values of forests).”
