A livelihood is socially sustainable which can cope with and recover from stress and shocks, and provide for future generations. (http://termportal.fao.org/faoterm/main/start.do?lang=en)
Telecentre: a public place where people can access computers, the Internet and other technologies. While each telecentre is different, the common focus is on the use of technologies to support community and social development. (FAO. 2007.

Cinchona is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae containing at least 23 species of trees and shrubs. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinchona)
Linear combinations of spectral band responses in digital count, reflectance factor, or voltage to determine the vigor, greenness and/or biomass of the vegetation. Observations can be made by satelliteborne, aircraftborne, truck mounted, or hand held spectrometers. (NASA STI Program. (2012). NASA thesaurus [Data file]. https://sti.nasa.gov/docs/thesaurus/thesaurus-vol-1.pdf)

Aquaponics refers to the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrition. This is an environmentally friendly, natural food-growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers. (Thorarinsdottir, R.I., 2015. Aquaponics Guidelines; Eco-Innovation Initiative of the European Union: Reykjavik, Iceland ISBN 978-9935-9283-1-3)
A peri-urban area refers to a transition or interaction zone, where urban and rural activities are juxtaposed, and landscape features are subject to rapid modifications, inducing by human activities. Peri-urban areas, which might include valuable protected areas, forested hills, preserved woodlands, prime agricultural lands and important wetlands, can provide essential life support services for urban residents. (UNTERM, 2012)
Resources are those occurrences with less certain geological and/or economic characteristics, but which are considered potentially recoverable with foreseeable technological and economic developments. (IPCC. 2001. Climate Change 2001: Synthesis Report. Annexes. https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/03/annex.pdf)
Note
Resources are things that are used during a production process or that are required to cover human needs in everyday life.
Any person or group with a legitimate interest, for instance in the utilization, conservation and management of resources. (FAO. 2008. Glossary of aquaculture. https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/a1555m)
