N2 - Summary - Zambian case: • Welfare has generally improved over the past 10 years - attributed to agricultural expansion and intensification (incl. government input subsidies), coupled with the growth of various crop markets – increased rural-urban connections (livelihood diversification). • More money available, which has led to improved food security and living standards. People can generally afford better clothing, household commodities, and education for their children. • However, it was noted by the villagers that there is now a larger disparity in wealth within the community. Summary - Tanzanian case: The upland village: • Adoption and enforcement of land tenure policies that restrict shifting cultivation. • International policies on climate change - REDD+ The plateau village: • Population pressure causing competition for land between shifting cultivators and pastoralists. • National land tenure and resource use policies The outcome In both villages the transformation of shifting cultivation negatively affected household income and increased periods of food insecurity.
