Rural livelihoods refers to the strategies and activities that people in rural areas engage in to sustain themselves and their families. This can include agricultural activities, small-scale businesses, natural resource extraction, and off-farm employment. Research in this area focuses on understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by rural communities, such as access to markets, land tenure issues, climate change impacts, and poverty alleviation strategies. The goal of research on rural livelihoods is to develop interventions and policies that can help improve the well-being and resilience of rural populations.
