“…Each farmer has a stock of potential partners that he/ she can mobilize in different ways according to the specific needs he/she encounters from year to year. Having this reliable stock of partners enhances, once again, the farmers' adaptive capacity in the face of unexpected environmental conditions (Mortimore and Adams 2001, Roncoli 2006, Nielsen and Reenberg 2010.…”

“…While it seems clear that SGI has helped small-scale farmers in the research area to adapt to an ever changing environment, it is difficult to establish a straightforward relationship between the factors of (environmental) change and particular patterns of adaptation (Nielsen andReenberg 2009: 464, Reid et al 2000: 340). As shown above, the research area has seen a host of social, cultural, political, demographic, infrastructural and environmental changes, which in combination have not only led to environmental degradation and persistent poverty, but also provided chances for new coping and adaptation strategies for local small-scale farmers.…”

“…Our main objectives were: (1) to assess systematically the spatial association between the satellite-observed greening trend and the local population's perceptions of vegetation degradation and rehabilitation, (2) to retrace the evolutions of environmental variables, human and livestock pressures, and livelihoods over five decades through the perspective of local land users, and (3) to contribute to the understanding of the inter-relationships among those evolutions and assess their relevance to the greening trend. To this end, we adopted an intermediate scale between local-scale, idiosyncratic case studies of individual villages (e.g., Batterbury and Warren 1999, Dahlberg and Blaikie 1999, Nielsen and Reenberg 2010, Reenberg et al 2013; O. Murzabekov, L. Gordon, E. Enfors, L. Börjeson, T. Abasse, and M. Adamou unpublished manuscript) and regional-scale coarse-resolution remote sensing studies. Along the same lines, our choice of methodology attempts to bridge the gap between the qualitative ethnographic and quantitative empirical approaches of knowledge generation.…”
