Description

The livelihood risks tend to change households capital, assets, or resources by impacting the value of their asset portfolio. This study attempts to understand various risks and how these risks affect the farming communitys livelihoods in the designated areas. Also, this research attempts to understand the relationships between risks and livelihood capital to develop effective measures to improve their well-being and suggest various policies to help farmers cope with these risks in the most effective ways. The study used a sample of 827 farmers from Andhra Pradesh, India. The ordinal logistic regression findings revealed that knowledge capital (knowledge on nutrient deficiency, disease and pests and access to information), social capital (community membership and access to natural resources and services) and financial capitals have a significant impact on the selection of livelihood strategies. 2022 Management Development Institute.
