Two of the biggest external sources of uncertainties in farmers' livelihoods are 1) impacts of changes in the mean and fluctuations of annual rainfall and shifts in seasons; and 2) market fluctuations of agricultural products. Tree and Farming System Resilience to Climate Change and Market Fluctuations (Treesilience)1 uses focus-group discussions to encourage farmers to 1) identify the fluctuations that cause shocks to their livelihoods in a guided process thinking though the shocksexposure- responses-capacity chain; 2) reveal the impacts of the shocks to their farming systems; 3) characterize the impacts of the shocks on dominant tree species; and 4) semi-quantitatively assess the price fluctuations of dominant tree products.
