Ecocultural tourism plays an crucial role in promoting poverty reduction and farmers’ sustainable livelihood enhancement worldwide, which has attracted strong attention from scholars and society. However, the impact of ecological and cultural capital of farmers’ sustainable livelihoods have not been yet fully investigated. This paper modifies the sustainable livelihoods framework (SLF) and emphasizes the effects of ecological and cultural capital on farmers’ sustainable livelihoods. The modified SLF can be used as a possible theoretical model to comprehensively characterize farmers’ sustainable livelihoods in tourism destinations with rich ecological and cultural resources. By constructing an evaluation index system, principle component analysis and multiple linear regression are used to analyze the types and response levels of farmers’ sustainable livelihoods to ecocultural tourism and determine the factors influencing this response. The results show that farmers’ sustainable livelihood responses to ecocultural tourism can be classified into six types. The overall response values are low, and the responses are ranked by the degree of response in descending order as complete response, balanced development, cultural network, ecology-dominant, developmental delay, and resource advantage response. Farmers’ sustainable livelihoods respond strongly to cultural capital and ecological capital factors and relatively weakly to physical, natural, social, financial, and labor capital. Five main factors that influence farmers’ sustainable livelihood responses are then identified. Finally, strategies and suggestions for livelihood transformation, strategy selection, and improvement are proposed. This study provides case study examples for promoting the sustainable development of ecocultural tourism sites and improving farmers’ livelihoods in China and worldwide.

“…It also varies considerably, exposing most rural households to chronic poverty [1,6,9]. It is increasingly believed that diversifying household income sources have impacted food security, reduced poverty, and improved livelihood [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Therefore, it needs research to understand the economic contributions and bottlenecks of income diversification at different levels and places to sustain its immense contributions.…”

The research aimed to estimate income diversification and investigate demographic, socioeconomic, and institutional factors that determine the smallholder farmer’s diversification of income in the Sodo Zuria district, southern Ethiopia. Cross-sectional data were collected from 353 randomly selected households. The Simpson Index of Diversity was used to summarize income diversification, and the Tobit econometric model was implemented to explore the factors affecting the income diversification of smallholder farmers. Accordingly, the mean earnings diversification among smallholder farmers was estimated at 0.56. The primary household income sources are livestock rearing, crop production, mixed farming, nonlabor income, agricultural wages, and nonagricultural wage employment. We found household age, family size, livestock ownership, use of agricultural inputs, access to credit, and participation in training activities significant factors determining smallholder farmers’ income diversification in the research area. Lack of initial capital and market access were the principal challenges to diversifying income sources. Therefore, decision-makers should work on the indicated predictors to improve income diversification activities in the study area; particularly, it is required to focus on effective credit provision systems by using modern technologies, improving agricultural input supply, and equipping farmers with better knowledge and skills on income diversification through short-term training.
