Internal migration and the development nexus : the case of Bangladesh (2003, methodology): “This is especially true for 17 coastal districts where silt deposits in estuaries create small islands or chars (Kar and Hossain, 2001).

The Role of Forest-Related Income in Household Economies and Rural Livelihoods in the Border-Region of Southern China (2013, background): “Off-farm income has played a key role in China’s falling poverty rates (De Janvry, Sadoulet, & Zhu, 2005; World Bank, 2009), and is widely perceived as the main route out of poverty in China’s forest regions and rural areas generally (Haggblade et al., 2002; Lanjouw & Feder, 2001).”
Non-farm work and food security among farm households in Northern Ghana (2011, background): “Evidence provided by Haggblade et al. (2002) suggests that most rural communities in Africa derive about 42% of their income from rural nonfarm activities– a high share considering that only about 10% of the rural labour force is employed in the rural non-farm sector.”

Invisible But Viable: Recognising Local Markets for Non-Timber Forest Products (2007, background): “Haggblade et al. (2002) and Scherr et al. (2004) maintain that when economies are buoyant and expanding then considerable potential exists for growth in local and regional small-scale enterprises and markets as benefits trickle down to a more local level.”
