Presented By: Douglas R Brown

Event: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2012 Presentations (2012/12/04)

There has been a lot of talk about resilience lately, but what does it all mean and how should we think about it in terms of agricultural and community development from poverty reduction and improved well-being? In a global context of variability and change – be it economic or environmental – and persistent areas of chronic food insecurity, how can we help people on the path to more productive, sustainable and resilient livelihoods, whilst being good stewards of the gifts God has given? In this talk, Doug will share some insights and experiences
as a development practitioner and researcher, examine recent trends in efforts to tackle chronic poverty and food insecurity and suggest a path that is at once faithful to our biblical roots and effective in addressing the root causes of the problems faced by the poor in rural agricultural communities around the globe.
