In September 2000 the International Symposium on Sustainable Livelihoods: exploring the role of beekeeping in development was the first to expand the sustainable livelihoods agenda into the field of beekeeping in development. The Symposium was organised by Bees for Development and received financial support from the UK DFID's Livestock Production Programme.

Strengthening Livelihoods: Exploring the Role of Beekeeping in Development is a significant outcome from this Symposium. This book emphasises that beekeeping as an important occupation and part of rural life worldwide. In communities where access to income is limited, small-scale beekeeping can contribute significantly to livelihood security, and yet the practice of beekeeping is underplayed in both policy and planning. This book challenges the marginalisation of beekeeping in rural development and asks whether a sustainable livelihoods approach can offer a way forward. Contributions are included from beekeeping development practitioners, development practitioners, and social scientists. Case studies are presented from around the world, including Cameroon, The Caribbean, Central America, India, Tanzania and Zambia.
