• Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2015, background): “Under the current conditions, agricultural production might not be the only pathway to allow smallholder farmers to improve their livelihoods (Dorward, 2009; Jayne et al., 2010).”
• Climate risk management and rural poverty reduction (2018, background): “A simple typology of farmer livelihood pathways (Dorward, 2009; Dorward et al., 2009; DFID, 2015; Dixon et al., 2001) can focus thinking about what roles particular CRM interventions can play, for particular types of households, in rural poverty reduction.”
• Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development (2011, background): “A broader issue is how we can move forward from considering only the best ‘system responses’ under current farm structure and functioning to designing farms and farming systems that can evolve under new circumstances – perhaps with phased-investment-plans in a ‘stepping-up’ progression (Dorward, 200”

(2021, background): “This classification resonates with the livelihood strategies identified by Dorward (2009) as ‘stepping up’, ‘stepping out’ – for those with the means to escape farming to other occupations – and the fragile livelihoods that have ‘hanging in’ as the only option.”
• Linking Smallholder Farmers to Markets and the Implications for Extension and Advisory Services (2014, background): “In this challenging environment, Dorward et al. (2009) suggest that farmers can be categorized into three types of livelihood strategies:”
• Livelihood strategies, resilience and transformability in African agroecosystems (2014, background): “…East Africa (Tittonell et al., 2010), differentiates households pursuing basically three main livelihood strategies, which may be also described as Dorward (2009) did: (1) ‘Hanging in’, which takes place in situations of poor natural resource potential and market opportunities, and where…”
