“…Significant opportunities were only obtained from the validation of the professional, such as access to closed insurance and social programs, the existence of income alternatives (where the PAA was considered as such for local fishermen although it is not characterized as a pluriactive practice), access to credit, aggregation of value, and purchasing power. BELTON and THILSTED (2014) indicated the same benefits of program participation as relevant to rural producers for times of economic instability, and SEN (2000) considers that only the already-focused support has the capacity to change the behavior and economic situation of the individual institutional programs. The other aspects of this dimension, evaluated as unsatisfactory, require their improvement from technical assistance, construction of networks, and social organization for the productive inclusion of fish in other markets of the municipality or region.…”

“…The trade-off reflects the relational state of well-being considering their social relationships that emerge in interconnections, between fishermen, institutions and forms of action, like agents; especially in the construction of strategies (COULTHARD, 2012). According to SEN (2000), the agent is all that is involved in causing a change with its free and rational action. In COULTHARD (2012) the different configurations of the agent may have the ability to connect resilience to different levels of the system in times of negotiation between participants.…”

New contributions to fisheries manager have been discussed from approaches about well-being and quality of life. In Brazil, quality of life (QOL) and quality of living conditions (QLC) were evaluated in rural and aquaculture producers, with objective results that could also to contribute in small-scale fisheries assessments. This study aimed to know the distance between looks from fishermans and technicians in the municipality Itanhaém/SP in fishing activity using four dimensions: social, environmental, economics and governance from a qualiquantitative approach. The governance dimension was the most critical and unsatisfactory, resulting in lower quality of life (IQOL) and living conditions (IQLC) indicators, emphasizing the discussion of the need for further studies on the institutional processes interfere with the welfare of fishing community in the region.

“…However, there are several issues with this approach, which Oosterlaken herself also mentions. Firstly, there is the matter of adaptive preferences, which Sen also initially identified (Sen, 1999). This implies that actors may adapt their expectations to the circumstances they are in.…”

Biomass such as crops and agricultural waste is increasingly used as the primary resource for products like bioplastics and biofuels. Incorporating the needs, knowledge, skills and values of biomass producers in the design of global value chains – the steps involved in creating any finished product from design to delivery – can contribute to sustainability, reliability and fairness. However, how to involve biomass producers, especially if they are resource poor, remains a challenge. To make sure that inclusion in global biobased value chains is both fair and effective, the capabilities of relevant actors need to be taken into account, especially of those producing biomass. Access to resources determines to what extent a specific actor can participate in a global value chain. Therefore, differences in capabilities should be a central consideration when new (biobased) value chains are designed. Using the capability approach as an ethical framework to realize inclusion, we discern three complementary strategies for setting up inclusive value chains. Firstly, designing for local conversion factors second, providing adaptive design for new capabilities, and third, investing in local conversion factors. Applying these strategies can lead to context-sensitive design of biorefineries that allow for true inclusion of local stakeholders. We support these claims with reference to case-studies of sugarcane production in Jamaica, modified tobacco in South Africa and the non-edible parts of corn (stover) in the US.

“…First, we find inspiration in intriguing new work by de Haas (2021) that illustrates the potential for integration and expansion of functionalist and historical-structural perspectives to generate updated, comprehensive theorizations on migration. Through articulation of a useful "aspirations and capabilities" framework, de Haas (2021) expands on prior work by Sen (1999) and Berlin (1969) to consider the role of structural forces such as global capitalism and inequalities as combined with individual perceptions, preferences, and options. This effort is indicative of the potential for new forms of migration theorization that integrate insights from a variety of perspectives.…”

As with all social processes, human migration is a dynamic process that requires regular theoretical reflection. This article offers such reflection as related to the role of the natural environment in contemporary migration research and theory. A growing body of evidence suggests that environmental contexts, as shifting social and ecological realities, are consequential to migration theory. In this article, we review some of this evidence, providing migration research examples that integrate environmental context and are applicable to core migration theories, including neoclassical economic and migration systems perspectives, the “push-pull” framework, and the new economics of labor migration. We suggest that neglecting consideration of the natural environment may yield misspecified migration models that attribute migration too heavily to social and economic factors, particularly in the context of contemporary climate change. On the other hand, we suggest, failure to consider migration theory in climate scenarios may lead to simplistic projections and understandings, as in the case of “climate refugees.” We conclude that migration researchers have an obligation to accurately reflect the complexity of migration's drivers, including the environment, within migration scholarship, especially in the context of global climate change.
