Description

Seasonality has significant implications for sustainable rural livelihoods and poverty reduction in developing countries. This severe constraint can lead to drought or flood, affecting agriculture, employment, food supply, and disease spread.

The subject of seasonality has gained increasing importance due to climate change and other development disruptions, altering established seasonal patterns and variations. This book provides a systematic study of seasonality for over twenty years, aiming to revive academic interest and policy awareness of this crucial issue.

Thematic chapters explore recent shifts with profound implications for seasonality, including climate change, HIV/AIDS, and social protection. Case studies examine seasonal dimensions of livelihoods in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as policy responses through innovative tools for monitoring seasonality.
