Land use and livelihood studies rarely engage dialectical thinking to explain how change occurs in rural, peasant economies. In this paper, I employ the dialectical concepts of contradiction and sublation to investigate the ways in which livelihoods and land uses are produced together at the household scale. Using quantitative and qualitative surveys, I demonstrate the degree to which land use and livelihoods are internally related and produced together as a result of households overcoming contradictions facing them in their everyday lives. I conclude by relating these findings back to relevant theoretical concepts
