Bright spots,(so-called) can be defined as individuals, small communities and households that have adopted innovative practices and strategies to reverse natural resource degradation in a sustainable manner whilst maintaining or enhancing food security. Bright spots are potentially sustainable, and levels of natural resource capital are above ecological and economic thresholds. It is these Bright spots that form the basis of this report.
