Strategies of family farms to strengthen their resilience (2010, background): “…ecological, social and economic sustainability over various temporal and spatial scales, resilience thinking (Gunderson and Holling 2002; Scoones et al. 2007) holds great promise to better understand the interlinkages and the challenges involved in moving towards sustainable food…”
Assessing a farm's sustainability: insights from resilience thinking (2010, background): “Focusing on farming system resilience thus builds on the recognition that it is necessary to move away from the analytical assumptions of equilibrium thinking, centred on linearity, predictability, optimization, homogeneity and simplification (Scoones et al., 2007).”
Resilience and why it matters for farm management (2014, background): “Importantly, a crisis may stem from a shift in actors’ understandings of the system, or from shifting conditions in the systems (Scoones et al., 2007:38).”
Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, background): “In this context, studying community-level adaptive strategies that build resilience to shocks and robustness to stresses in ongoing conditions of rapid change may be more instructive than interventions of formal interventions that attempt to re-establish stability (Scoones et al. 2007).”
