“…Rural South African households are increasingly dependent on commercially produced food and non-agriculturally derived incomes, including stateand urban-derived cash incomes [46,65]. The expansion of supermarkets into rural areas [21,64], as well as the dominance of cash-based societies and rural outmigration for employment opportunities [23], disincentivizes subsistence agriculture and changes rural agrarian identities [9]. Urban migration in a developing world context has created "remittance landscapes"-land use change driven by wages earned in urban centers and remitted to rural communal lands, altering the distribution of cropland and others land uses [19].…”

“…Farming households also have a more diversified income [21]. At the community scale cropland abandonment contributes to a loss of the traditional landscape [18], erosion of cultural heritage, lifestyle, identity and values [22], and a reduction in social cohesion as unemployed and idle youth may resort to criminal activity [23]. At a regional scale, there is reduced agricultural supply to markets, as well as reduced demand for the inputs and support services associated with agricultural production and markets.…”

“…Studies in Indonesia (Firman, 1994;Hugo, 1982;D. A. Preston, 1989), Thailand (Rigg, 2003(Rigg, , 2005Rigg & Salamanca, 2011;Rungmanee, 2014), Philippine (Kelly, 2011;McKay, 2003), Africa (Barrett, Reardon, & Webb, 2001;Bryceson, 1996;Ncube et al, 2014), and Sri Lanka (Hewage, Kumara, & Rigg, 2011), amongst other, have highlighted key characteristics of de-agrarianisation: migration (Firman, 1994;Hewage et al, 2011;McKay, 2005), livelihood diversification (Barrett et al, 2001;L. De Haan & Zoomers, 2003;Ellis, 2000;Reardon, 1997), remittance income (Kelly, 2011;McKay, 2003;Rigg & Salamanca, 2011), shifts in gender relations (Hew, 2011;McKay, 2005), marginalisation and exclusion (Hall et al, 2011) and the phenomenon of multi-local living (Fan, Sun, & Zheng, 2011;Firman, 1994;Kelly, 2011;Soda, 2001).…”

“…This is important, especially taking into consideration the deagrarianisation process which had occurred not just in Kapit District, but also globally. A number of scholars have been discussing the process and effects of de-agrarianisation in, amongst other, Asia (Kelly, 2022;McKay, 2005;Rigg & Nattapoolwant, 2001), Africa (Bryceson, 1996;Ncube, Tanga & Bhumira, 2014) and Latin America (Bryceson, Kay & Mooij, 2000) in the past few decades. Similar situations had occurred in other rural Southeast Asian regions, such as Indonesia (Firman, 1994), Thailand (Rigg, 2003;Rungmanee, 2014) and the Philippines (Kelly, 2011;McKay, 2003) What is intriguing for me is the future direction as a result of this change.…”
