Zoning and health factors
Q. Can variations in health factors, like HIV/AIDS prevalence, result in different livelihood zones?
A. In theory, it is possible that HIV/AIDS prevalence could be so high as to alter a production system and result in a fundamental change in the pattern of livelihood of a population in a given geographical area. If this is the case, it may justify the definition of a separate zone, or more likely a sub-zone within a larger zone. However, to date this has not been a basis for defining livelihood zones.
