2018, GeoforumCitation Excerpt :Meanwhile household adjustments between and among different livelihood capitals remain problematic. Contrasting experiences in Jatropha (Achten et al., 2010), sugarcane as capital intensive crop makes it even more difficult for smallholders to limit initial investments and control start-up risks. The resulting centralised processing set-ups render production not only large-scale but also limit pathways for gains among smallholders particularly in shareholding variant (Dubb, 2015).
