We present a study of wood use in the YUS area (combined watersheds of Yopno, Uruwa and Som rivers) in northern Papua New Guinea, where 57 communities depend on forests for their subsistence.
It is important that services and professionals especially consider the needs of individuals with chronic illness who depend on social assistance for their subsistence, as they may be in a particularly vulnerable and dependent position in relation to public services.
They were yoked to an endless round of rents, dues, tithes, even a mortuary tax (when a peasant died, the lord was entitled to his first beast and the Church took the second), and most of them depended for their survival on the small subsistence they drew from access to common land.
Females who depend on the street for their subsistence, but usually return home at night.
Around 70% of the world's coffee is produced by small-scale farmers, with over 20 million coffee-farming families – equivalent to more than 100 million people - depending on its production for their subsistence [8].
Some groups of people, including low-income African Americans, Native Americans, and non English speakers such as some Hmong immigrants, depend on the contaminated fish for their subsistence and can be hard to reach with or resistant to cautionary messages.
They depended largely on corn (maize), cultivated by women, for their subsistence; this was supplemented by hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plant foods.
Cold-water corals are passive suspension feeders, which depend on the supply of particulate organic matter and zooplankton for their subsistence and are therefore preferentially distributed on topographic irregularities, such as prominent steps on canyon slopes and seamounts where currents are strong and sedimentation rates are low [172] (see Text S1 for more references).
The inhabitants of El Paraíso presumably depended upon both fishing and plant cultivation (probably not including corn [maize]) for their subsistence.
