Global forest dataset incongruence creates high uncertainties for conservation, climate, and development policy
Mapping the social-ecological suitability of agroforestry in the US Midwest
Agroforestry practices offer the potential to increase agricultural sustainability, but their adoption remains limited, especially in some of the world’s most highly productive regions like the United States (US) Midwest. Integrated assessment of the environmental, social, and economic factors that determine agroforestry’s potential benefits and social acceptability is needed to effectively target agroforestry expansion. To meet this need, we use…
“You could find a good or a bad provider, I would say you just have to go and see”
This qualitative study from Burkina Faso explores community-level perceptions of family planning (FP) service quality among FP users and non-users. It examines how perspectives on service quality may influence women’s motivation to seek modern methods from health facilities. For this study, twenty focus group discussions were undertaken with non-users and current users of modern FP including unmarried, sexually active women ages 15–19 and 20–24 a…
Belonging, identity and place
Informed by neoliberal ideologies, middle-class rural young people are encouraged to take responsibility for their own lives by actively engaging in higher education and its associated social opportunities, but are also having to negotiate a place for themselves as they transition from rural communities to urban university environments. Drawing on the concepts of responsibilisation, urbanormativity and mobility, we aim to better understand how mi…

Rural children's attitudes to people with HIV/Aids in Mali
Qualitative research among young people and other community members in rural Mali elicited knowledge and attitudes with regard to HIV/AIDS. Findings indicated that rumours concerning methods of infection are likely to increase the stigmatization of those with the disease. The most frequently stated mode of transmission involved urinating in a place where someone with AIDS had already urinated. Shared clothes, food and water were seen as sources o…
Factors Influencing Young Malians' Reluctance to Use Hormonal Contraceptives
During a qualitative evaluation of three peer‐education programs in urban Mali, young people stated that they were wary of using either the pill or injectable contraceptives because they believed that these methods would make them sterile. Unmarried women's contraceptive decisionmaking was not primarily driven by a current need to limit fertility, but rather by a future need to maximize it in order to gain status through childbearing in their mar…

A Qualitative Study of Clandestine Contraceptive Use in Urban Mali
This prospective study uses qualitative methods to examine the social and economic impact of family planningon women's lives in the district of Bamako, Mali. Fifty‐five first‐time users of contraceptives were interviewed in October 1996. Of particular interest is the high proportion (17/55) of those who had hidden their use of a birth‐control method from their husbands. Substantial collusion is found to have occurred between sisters‐in‐law in ass…
The Current and Intergenerational Impact of Child Fostering on Children's Nutritional Status in Rural Mali
This article assesses the determinants of child fostering and its effect on children's nutritional status among the Malian Fulani. Anthropometric evidence indicates that nutritional outcomes are more strongly associated with the reasons for the child's transfer rather than with the fostering per se. These effects persist intergenerationally with the biological children of mothers who were themselves fostered under forced circumstances exhibiting …

Back to nature? Historical and cross-cultural perspectives on barriers to optimal breastfeeding
This article examines the discrepancy between the recommendations of international authorities concerning breastfeeding and the practices of a significant proportion of women all over the world who discontinue breastfeeding because of the reported insufficiency of their milk. Our review of the evidence on the insufficient milk syndrome suggests that the phenomenon is inextricably linked to the construction of family, gender and motherhood at diff…
Child fostering and children's nutritional outcomes in rural mali
Research in West Africa has begun to document the phenomenon of child fostering although little attention has focussed on other types of non-maternal child care arrangements and their impact on child health. Evidence from a sample of 77 weaned children under five in rural Mali found that over one third (35%) of children were not the prime responsibility of both their biological parents. Nineteen per cent (N = 15) of the sample were formally foste…
The (Re)negotiation of Illness Diagnoses and Responsibility for Child Death in Rural Mali
Kin and community power relationships in rural Mali shape the process of diagnosing a child with a fatal illness. This analysis draws on participant observation and interviews with 298 women in four Fulani and Humbeße communities in the Mopti region. Two folk illnesses regarded as supernaturally caused, foondu ("the bird") and heendu ("the wind") were important final diagnoses of the cause of death. The illnesses are regarded as fatal but tend to…
