• The impact of droughts and floods on food security and policy options to alleviate negative effects (2007, background): “Pastoralists are particularly badly affected by such effects: livestock that they sell or exchange for grain are worth only a fraction of their pre-crisis value after a weather shock disrupts demand and supply patterns on local commodity markets (Swift and Hamilton 2001).”
• Environmental Conflict Between Refugee and Host Communities (2005, background): “…have come under recent critical scrutiny, with evidence that poor people can actually display exceptionally low time preferences for resource use (Devereux & Maxwell, 2001; Moseley, 2001) and, despite higher dependence on natural resources, actually use less of them than wealthier people in the…”
• Climate change, food security, and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa (2016, background): “In fact, some define food security as the success of local livelihoods in guaranteeing access to sufficient food at the household level (Devereux and Maxwell 2001).”
• Evergreen Agriculture: a robust approach to sustainable food security in Africa (2010, background): “…BP E5118 Bamako, Mali M. Larwanou African Forest Forum, Nairobi, Kenya production is critical to both food security and economic development among the rural poor, and increasing its productivity remains a central food security issue (Devereux and Maxwell 2001; Schmidhuber and Tubiello 2007).”
• Automated cropland mapping of continental Africa using Google Earth Engine cloud computing (2017, background): “A quarter of the population is undernourished and many countries experience famines in sub-Saharan Africa (Clover, 2010).”
• Agriculture and food security in selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: diversity in trends and opportunities (2011, background): “We acknowledge that food insecurity is not just a failure of agriculture to produce enough food, but, more generally, a failure of livelihoods, with insufficient paid work in other sectors to guarantee access to sufficient food (Devereux and Maxwell 2001) and also a failure of development policies.”
