Abstract

Over the years, agriculture has been the main activity that rural communities in developing countries engage in for their subsistence existential needs. Due to the decline in harvests, people have been forced to look for other alternatives to cushion their livelihoods. Forest resources have proven to be a principal livelihood support that diversifies income with timber and non-timber products as alternatives. The exploitation of natural resources has correspondingly attracted progression in sustainable resource use. While sustainability is being glorified, there is scanty attention on how the mopane worm (Gonimbrasia belina) supply chain can narrow the existing gap between Zimbabwean urban-rural mopane worm-based livelihoods. This chapter, therefore, employs the triple bottom line (TBL) approach to build consciousness on the environmental, economic, and social elements at each stage of the mopane worm supply chain to achieve sustainability and narrow the cleavage between the rural and urban mopane worm-based livelihoods.
