Rural households and miombo woodlands : use, value and management
1996
Clarke, J. | Cavendish, W. | Coote, C.
The woodland products and services are crucial to the livelihood systems of rural dwellers in the miombo region. It explained the products and services obtained from woodlands and show how these contribute to livelihood systems (subsistence requirements, income, labour allocation, etc.) was described in this review. Non market values of miombo woodland, such as those relating to power, spirituality and cultural heritage are also investigated. Understanding how collection, use, value and marketing of wild resources is deferentiated by wealth, gender, age and ecological situation is essential to assess the overall economic value of miombo woodlands. Patterns of diferentiation in relation to gender need to be explored, given that women are so heavily dependent on woodland product activities and given the marked diferentiation between male and female involvement. Communities are not homogenous groups, and it is highly likely that certain wealth strata may benefit to a greater extent than others from miombo woodland use.
