With agriculture being the main source of livelihood, migration has posed severe constraints, thus hampering the livelihood of many households. This research focused on the effects of migration on the livelihood of rural households in Nigeria. Descriptive statistics, Probit and Tobit regression models were the analytical tools employed. Most of the households were male-headed and two-thirds of the rural households had members who had migrated for at least six months. Internal migration was the predominant type of migration while rural households were found to have a low level of livelihood. Age, education, household size, type of employment, land access, type of dwelling, migrant status and physical assets were significant in determining livelihoods of rural households. Thus, lessening the rural-urban divide in the rural areas through public-private partnerships in terms of innovations to support and expand the livelihood possibilities of rural households at all levels of governance should be prioritized.

Fishery in Zanzibar play a significant role in the economy for income, food security and employment status. Many inhabitants from coastal areas of Zanzibar engaged in fishing activities for income and subsistence need. Majority of the fishers in Zanzibar are poor. They are engaged in fish catch in inshore areas using traditional fishing boats and gears. Fisher's income has been gradually reduced due to declining fish catch which is attributed to poor fishing technology, use of non-motorized small fishing vessels and overfishing. The aim of this study is to investigate how capital assets contribute to the household income and wellbeing of small-scale fishers in Zanzibar. Data used in this study obtained through face to face interview with 226 respondents. The regression results indicated that financial capital, human capital, social capital and natural capital have significantly contributed to the income of fisher households in Zanzibar. The access of assets play a very significant role in the poverty reduction in coastal areas in Zanzibar. The government may prioritised to invest in fish market facilities and improve some services including social network, education, credit facilities for increasing income and reducing poverty to the fishers in the islands of Zanzibar.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between livelihood security and food security attainment among paddy farmers in non-granary areas. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with low-income rice farmers in Kedah and Kelantan States, Malaysia, involving a sample size of 400 households selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). A total of 388 paddy farmers participated in this study. The results indicate that the overall combination of livelihood security components positively correlates with the achievement of food security. Consequently, improvements in food security among farmers are proposed. Government intervention should be considered to enhance livelihood security among paddy farmers and low-income individuals, aligning with the optimal minimum requirements based on the Malaysian food pyramid. Initiatives to promote a balanced diet will be intensified through the food basket program for the poor.
