Living Income

What is a living income?

The Living Income Community of Practice defines living income as “the net annual income required for a household in a particular place to afford a decent standard of living for all members of that household”. A decent standard of living includes having access to food, water, housing, education, healthcare, transport, clothing, and other essential needs, such as provision for unexpected events.

The concept of living income goes a step beyond traditional notions of poverty alleviation that are concerned with basic subsistence and survival; it puts a strong emphasis on the idea of earning enough income to live comfortably. When thinking about income—as opposed to wages—it is important to recognize that the income that a household earns can come from multiple sources. In the case of smallholder farmers for example, income can be earned through off farm business and remittances as well as from crop sales. This income needs to cover the costs of decent living for it to be considered a living income.

As part of our contribution and commitment for achieving the living income status of members, Asunafo Cocoa Farmers has distributed 27% of its premium to farmers as cash bonus.

Do you want to plant a vegetable garden? An herb garden? A flower garden? If you choose vegetables and/or herbs for their contributions to your dinner table, identify which ones your family will eat or is willing to try. If you want flowers for their flair, color, and fragrance, decide whether you want annuals that bloom most of the summer but need to be replanted each spring or perennials that have a shorter bloom time but return year after year.
