Resilience of local food systems and links to food security - A review of some important concepts in the context of COVID-19 and other shocks.
TL;DR: The review of existing accounts on COVID-19 suggests that, with the exception of those who lost members of their family to the virus, the main impact of the pandemic derives mainly from the lockdown and mobility restrictions imposed by national/local governments, and the consequence that the subsequent loss of income and purchasing power has on people’s food security, in particular the poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Not by Rent Alone: Analysing the Pro-Poor Functions of Small-Scale Fisheries in Developing Countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the potentially disastrous consequences that a universal implementation of the rent-maximisation model would have in developing countries, and argue that a more gradual approach would be preferable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis and management of small‐scale fisheries in developing countries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors bring together existing theory and methods to suggest a general scheme for diagnosing and managing small-scale fisheries (SSF), which can be adapted to accommodate the diversity of these fisheries in the developing world.

Robin Welcomme,Ian G. Cowx,David Coates,Christophe Béné,Simon Funge-Smith,Ashley S. Halls,Kai Lorenzen +6 more
TL;DR: Inland fisheries are less heavily exploited in South and Central America, and in the North and South temperate zones inland fisheries are mostly oriented to recreation rather than food production, and the future of inland fisheries varies between continents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christophe Béné,Peter Oosterveer,Lea Lamotte,Inge D. Brouwer,Stef de Haan,Steven D. Prager,Elise F. Talsma,Colin K. Khoury,Colin K. Khoury +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that current attempts to equate or subsume healthy diets within sustainability in the context of food system may be misleading and need to be challenged, and stress that trade-offs between different dimensions of sustainable food system sustainability are unavoidable.
