The connections between the major resource exploitation activities and the rural population operate through two main channels: formal State aid to rural households, and the informal practice of off-farm employment. Three main sources of income
(subsistence production, cash crops and off-farm work) act as substitutes for one another and this substitution has implications on the overall standard of living of the households.

During the Soviet period and its collective and state farm practices, livestock were kept well in excess of the carrying capacity of natural pastures and cultivated fodder areas. Since Kyrgyz independence, livestock numbers have fallen dramatically

This paper deals with the multiple insecurities affecting combined rainfed farmingsystems in the Ishkamesh district of Takhar Province in Northern Afghanistan. It looks at how local natural resource management practices work out under conditions
of recurrent and severe drought and how pasture access regimes and rainfed farming practices structure intergroup relations in an area that was affected by heavy fighting during Soviet occupation and civil war in Afghanistan. Affected by scarcity of land

Farms face spatial pressures, disagreements with the non-farming population, and accessibility restrictions especially on urban outskirts. Such a situation is the result of unsuitable spatial planning of settlements, in which farmland was included
within areas zoned for development. This article focuses on spatial limitations on farms in the settlement of Moste in the Municipality of Komenda. These were determined by using officially available spatial data and records and by using geographical

The weakening of the postwar nexus of a productivst agriculture and a distinctive system of regulating the rural economy has created new challenges for British rural institutions. Using the concept of the local mode of social regulation, the AA

The relationship between poorer farm clusters and distance from landlords is outlined. The interdependence between their size, number and location, and resource is shown. New settlemnts were continuously developed and these were less likely to adopt
