Great post, Lindiwe ! I think with the examples you are giving you provide initial answers to some of my last blog's questions about poverty traps, pointing to what I called risk traps and variability traps. The other essential message I see from your post is the need to put livelihoods and related assets first, not production, when addressing crises faced by the rural poor.
