“…Poverty alleviation, the second relevant topic, could be achieved with a combined effort of government, society, and academia to build a sustainable system (Dixit and Sakunia 2022), in which rural entrepreneurship plays a critical role in alleviating extreme poverty (Sutter et al 2019), and where social business companies can grow access to economic resources, income opportunities, and beneficial products and services (Humberg and Braun 2014). Likewise, the incidence of poverty could be reduced through innovation platforms for smallholder farmers (Brown et al 2021), the participation of NGOs (Amofah et al 2021), and the stimulation of endogenous power of rural households to generate positive livelihood acceleration (Deng et al 2020), and the combination of land system reform and policy innovation to provide a rural land consolidation (Wang et al 2021).

Most entrepreneurship studies have an urban focus, and it is studied mainly from the perspective of opportunity exploitation. Rural entrepreneurship presents different characteristics, and it requires analysis from a resource-based view since this kind of entrepreneurial behavior takes place in rural communities under resource constraints. The sustainable livelihood perspective represents a relevant framework in rural entrepreneurship, considering resources and capacities to face poverty in rural areas. Therefore, this study presents a literature review to identify current and emerging issues in rural entrepreneurship from a sustainable livelihood framework. The literature review identifies that the main concepts involved in rural entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihood are women, poverty alleviation, youth, social entrepreneurship, and institutions. Likewise, social capital and human capital prevail as the most relevant capitals in the analyzed documents. The study offers research opportunities in emerging issues related to social entrepreneurship, governance and institutions, livelihood growth, and eco-entrepreneurship for extending the boundaries of rural entrepreneurship from the sustainable livelihood framework.

“…Ahmed et al ( 2010 ), in his study of “Prawn postlarvae fishing in coastal Bangladesh: associated challenges for sustainable livelihoods”, used the SLA to understand the role of shifting occupation to prawn fishing in poverty reduction of an agriculturally underdeveloped region. Wang et al ( 2021 ) considered the SLA to reveal the impact of livelihood capital endowment (LCE) on households’ income growth and poverty alleviation under different rural land consolidation (RLC) situations. SLA is also helpful in analyzing the influential parameters behind the diversified livelihood choices of rural households (Huang et al 2021 ).…”

The present study attempted to understand the dimensions of changing agrarian livelihoods because of haphazard adaptation of capitalistic shrimp aquaculture. Specifically, using multi-temporal Google-based geodatabase, we quantified the artificial conversion of agrarian landscape in an inland freshwater region of coastal Bengal. Further, we examined the long-term viability of transformed livelihoods by adopting a modified version of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA). The assessment of changing livelihoods was based on empirical information acquired through field surveys, focus group discussion (FGD) and key informant interviews (KII). Results from the geostatistical analysis depicted that the shrimp culture in the research area was very recent. In 2010, only 0.03 percent of the total area was occupied by shrimp ponds. However, within a decade and an expansion rate of 18 percent/annum, the conversion spread to 1/3 of the total study area. The findings also clarified that the adaptation of shrimp cultivation increased the overall profit by 6400 USD/ha/year over agricultural output, and resulted in a quick rise in the standard of living for the shrimp farmers. However, in the long run, due to decreasing productivity and salinization of the surrounding land, the conversion resulted in massive depeasantization, augmentation of wasteland, and biased wealth accumulation led to a wide rich-poor gap. Therefore, the entire ecosystem will suffer in the near future, if the local government does not strictly impose Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

“…In the farmers' livelihood system, farmers can use existing accessible assets to cope with shocks and capture opportunities for better livelihood outcomes. For example, Wang W. et al (2021) argued that the initial livelihood capital endowment was critical for farm households to escape from poverty. Some studies show that physical capital such as agricultural means of production, housing and durable goods are effective in reducing poverty occurrence among farm households (Shinn and Gillespie, 1994;Amendola and Vecchi, 2014;Oni and Oyelade, 2014).…”

Poverty caused by disasters poses a great challenge to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. Livelihood resilience is the key factor for farmers to resist risks and get rid of poverty. Therefore, this study used the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) database. Firstly, we examined the impact of natural disasters on the poverty vulnerability of farmers. Secondly, taking livelihood resilience and its decomposition dimensions as threshold variables, we examined the mechanism of livelihood resilience between natural disasters and poverty. The results show that natural disaster shocks, natural disaster intensity, and natural disaster frequency all had a significant positive effect on farm households’ vulnerability to poverty. The threshold test shows that natural disasters had larger effects on the poverty vulnerability of the farmers with lower buffer capacity, self-organizing capacity, and learning capacity. When the livelihood resilience value exceeded the third threshold, the impact of natural disasters on the poverty vulnerability of farmers turned from positive to negative. When the buffer capacity exceeded the third threshold, the impact of natural disasters on poverty vulnerability turned from positive to negative; when the self-organizing capacity exceeded the first threshold, the impact of natural disasters on poverty vulnerability turned from positive to negative; when the learning capacity exceeded the third threshold, the impact of natural disasters on poverty vulnerability turned from positive to negative. Therefore, it is suggested that appropriate policies should be needed to support farmers’ livelihood resilience and address disaster-induced poverty by improving farmers’ buffer capacity, self-organizing capacity, and learning capacity. Focusing on farmers’ livelihood resilience, government should establish a policy support system aimed at improving farmers’ buffer capacity, self-organizing capacity, and learning capacity, that will help farmers to escape from disaster-induced poverty.
