  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • China

Livelihood, Natural resource economics, Poverty, Agroforestry and Economic growth are his primary areas of study. His Livelihood research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Natural resource, Environmental resource management, Rural settlement, Socioeconomic status and Woodland. His Natural resource economics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cost–benefit analysis and Economic system.

His Poverty study which covers Resource that intersects with Livelihood security. His research integrates issues of Forestry, Sustainability and Food resources in his study of Agroforestry. His Sustainability research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Millennium Development Goals, Agriculture, Green Revolution and Domestication.

His most cited work include:

  • The importance of dry woodlands and forests in rural livelihoods and poverty alleviation in South Africa (347 citations)
  • The Role of Land-Based Strategies in Rural Livelihoods: The Contribution of Arable Production, Animal Husbandry and Natural Resource Harvesting in Communal Areas in South Africa (222 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Livelihood, Agroforestry, Poverty, Natural resource and Environmental planning. His studies deal with areas such as Economic growth, Natural resource economics, Socioeconomics and Environmental resource management as well as Livelihood. His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Sclerocarya birrea, Domestication, Woodland and Arable land.

His Poverty research integrates issues from Development economics, Food security and Ecosystem services. His study in Natural resource is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecosystem management and Public administration. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate change adaptation and Land use.
