Description

Many surveys on rural livelihoods in developing countries face significant challenges due to methodological weaknesses and implementation errors. This book addresses the critical need for better research methods to accurately capture how households depend on environmental resources. Quantifying dependence on forests, bush, grasslands, and rivers is a complex task that is frequently overlooked in standard surveys. This oversight means that many research results fail to reflect the true realities of rural life. This text focuses on the importance of the 'hidden harvest' from natural resources, which is a vital component of livelihoods for development research, policy creation, and field practice. By providing better methods for fieldwork, this resource helps researchers move past the limitations of traditional surveys. It offers a way to account for the diverse environmental resources that sustain rural populations, making it a necessary tool for those working in economic policy and development.
