요약	A rural livelihood diversification index summarises, in a single number, how spread out a household's income is across different sources and activities — farming, off-farm wage labour, self-employment, remittances, transfers — rather than concentrated in one. Grounded in Frank Ellis's rural livelihoods framework, which defines diversification as the process by which rural households construct an increasingly diverse portfolio of activities to survive and improve their living standards, the index borrows concentration measures such as the Herfindahl and its Simpson complement from ecology and industrial economics. A household relying wholly on one crop scores as undiversified and exposed; one drawing evenly on many sources scores as highly diversified and, often, more resilient.	Agrifood value chain analysis traces a food product through the full sequence of value-adding activities — from input supply and farming through processing, trade, and retail to the final consumer — and asks how value, costs, and power are distributed along that chain and where smallholders and processors can capture more. The method follows Kaplinsky and Morris's influential Handbook for Value Chain Research, which provides the practical apparatus for mapping a chain, quantifying flows and margins, and analysing governance and upgrading. Gereffi, Humphrey, and Sturgeon's theory of global value chain governance supplies the lens for understanding who coordinates the chain and how that coordination shapes the prospects for upgrading.
