The document discusses sustainable livelihoods and the framework for achieving them. Sustainable livelihoods are developed through various strategies within specific historical, cultural, economic and social contexts. People use strategies like agricultural intensification, diversification or migration. These strategies are shaped by institutions, policies, shocks and trends. The framework includes the assets - natural, social, human, physical and financial capital - that people use to achieve sustainable livelihood outcomes such as income, well-being, food security and sustainable resource use.
