• Resilience and the industrial food system: analyzing the impacts of agricultural industrialization on food system vulnerability (2015, background): “This, in turn, depends on decision-making autonomy (e.g., Fraser et al. 2005).”
• Characterising the nature of household vulnerability to climate variability: empirical evidence from two regions of Ghana (2013, background): “…livelihood sources and having access to or ownership of a range of different capital assets, resilient households (such as outlier households in vulnerable communities) have a broader livelihood portfolio that they can use to reduce their vulnerability to drought (Ellis 1998; Fraser et al. 2005).”
• A food systems approach to researching food security and its interactions with global environmental change (2011, background): “Dixon (1999) meanwhile proposed a cultural economy model for understanding power in commodity systems, while Fraser et al. (2005) proposed a framework to assess the vulnerability of food systems to future shocks based on landscape ecology’s ‘Panarchy Framework’.”
• RESILIENCE: THE EMERGENCE OF A PERSPECTIVE FOR SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSES (2006, background): “, 2000) and work has been inspired by the adaptive cycle and the panarchy to understand management institutions and theories of social change (Holling and Sanderson, 1996; Westley, 2002), famine and assessment of vulnerability of food systems (Fraser, 2003; Fraser et al., 2005) and periods of changi”
• Exploring European food system vulnerabilities: Towards integrated food security governance (2017, unknown): “This is the case, for example, of Fraser et al. (2005), who analyse food system vulnerabilities through a “panarchy” framework that highlights the importance of maintaining diversity within the food system to maximise the range of options available at times of crisis.”
• Livelihood adaptations to climate variability: insights from farming households in Ghana (2014, background): “By augmenting their livelihood activity portfolio, the smallholder farmer in dryland farming systems reduces the risks of an overall adverse livelihood outcome or production failure (Fraser et al. 2005; Ellis 1998).”
• Tensions in Corporate Sustainability: Towards an Integrative Framework (2014, unknown): “This lack became evident when a new threat arrived in the form of a disease (Phytophthora infestans), due to which large parts of the crop failed, resulting in the loss of human life and mass migration (Fraser et al. 2005).”
• Bottom up and top down: analysis of participatory processes for sustainability indicator identification as a pathway to community empowerment and sustainable environmental management. (2006, background): “ultimately should allow us to prevent problems by changing practices at the source ( Fraser et al., 2003, 2005 ).”
