This paper aims to identify effective mechanisms for government poverty alleviation measures based on the livelihood sustainability of farm households in Southern Shaanxi province, China. The paper utilizes data from 414 farm households, collected through field observations and in-depth interviews in 24 rural communes in Qinba Mountain Area of Shaanxi province, China. Using theoretical research methods and employing the sustainable livelihood approach (SLA) framework, this paper analyzes poverty alleviation measures as well as the impact of varied capital availability on sustainable livelihood. The study shows that developing local industries and governmental financial support improve the sustainable livelihood of farmers and eradicate absolute poverty. The findings of this study further indicate that there is a positive correlation between poverty alleviation measures and natural and social capital for sustainable livelihood. The paper provides empirical and quantitative evidence on alleviation of poverty, and the findings will help improve the sustainability of livelihood capability of farming households. This study suggests impactful approaches to stabilizing mechanisms for poverty alleviation in rural areas over the longer term.

“…The results showed that 60%, 75%, and 55% of respondents in Kasur, Chunian, and Patoki, respectively, were well aware of climate change (Table 1). Agricultural communities' perceptions of climate change and its effects are mediated by farmland features and demographic assets, according to the literature (Bhadwal et al, 2019). Agricultural communities benefit from knowledge, information sharing, and communication in their decision-making, and are adopting proper measures against climate change and associated factors (Drafor and Agyepong, 2005;Deressa et al, 2009).…”

This study was carried out to assess agricultural communities’ understanding of climate change, the adaptation measures being undertaken against climate change, and industrial wastewater irrigation. It was considered important to check agricultural communities’ understanding of climate change, as the majority of the study area belongs to the farming and industry sector. This study was based on primary data collected through a survey in the study area. The results of present study showed that agricultural communities with sufficient resources and assets consider themselves to be safer and more capable of coping with the negative effects of climate change. Agricultural communities used different techniques to deal with the impacts of climate change in present study area. This study produced findings about agricultural households’ adaptation tactics that are unique and will aid policymakers in assisting agricultural communities in their day-to-day activities and farming practices, as well as in the implementation of proper monitoring and public policies to ensure integration and sustainability. This research is based on the sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA), which investigates how livelihood assets support agricultural communities by combining household adoption/adaptation strategies and livelihood outcomes.

“…For example, a 2014 study in northwest India illustrated that social status was a key determinant of adaptive capacity to climate change 78 . Another 2019 study carried out in the state of Sikki observed that women stand to be highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with issues of income and water access being particularly important in elevating risk 104 .…”
