Sustaining livelihood in rural areas comes with numerous challenges, including economic instability, climate change, and lack of infrastructure. Many rural communities rely heavily on agriculture, making them vulnerable to unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and soil degradation, which directly threaten livelihood in rural areas.
Limited access to financial resources is another major challenge. Many rural entrepreneurs and farmers struggle to obtain loans or investment for expanding their businesses, making it difficult to sustain or diversify their income. Poor infrastructure, including bad roads, limited electricity, and weak internet connectivity, further restricts economic opportunities and discourages youth from staying in rural areas.
Additionally, inadequate healthcare and education services make it difficult for rural populations to improve their skills and overall well-being. Without proper training and support, many are forced to migrate to cities, leading to labor shortages and a decline in traditional occupations.
To address these challenges, governments and NGOs must invest in rural infrastructure, promote sustainable farming practices, and provide skill development programs to strengthen livelihood in rural areas. Encouraging rural entrepreneurship and digital access can also create new economic opportunities, reducing dependency on unstable agricultural income
