Smallholder Livelihoods

Smallholder Livelihoods is a socioeconomic construct that denotes the integrated system of practices, resources, and strategies through which small-scale farming households secure their living, distinguished by limited landholdings, high dependence on family labor, and close interlinkages between agricultural production, natural resource use, and household well-being in the context of food system transformation.
