Strengthening
Livelihoods: Exploring the Role of Beekeeping in Development,
By
Nicola Bradbear, Eleanor Fisher, Helen Jackson (eds.) Bees
for Development, Monmouth 2002 (ISBN 1 8988707 01 9)
Bees
for Development, with financial support from DFID, published
this book following the "International Symposium on Sustainable
Livelihoods: exploring the role of beekeeping in development".
Beekeeping
is an important occupation and part of rural life worldwide.
In rural communities where access to income is limited, small-scale
beekeeping can contribute significantly to livelihood security,
and yet the practice of beekeeping is underplayed in both
policy and planning. This book challenges the marginalisation
of beekeeping in rural development and asks whether a sustainable
livelihoods approach can offer a way forward. Contributions
are included from beekeeping development practitioners, development
practitioners, and social scientists. Case study examples
are presented from around the world, including Tanzania, Zambia,
the Caribbean, Cameroon and India.
