Abstract
This research was conducted in Loksado District, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Demographic changes and land use changes that occurred in Loksado District resulted in a decrease in the area of farmland. This condition gave rise to changes in the conditions of field farmers in meeting household needs. This study aimed to analyze the livelihood strategies farm farmer households in Loksado District applied. This research is based on the application of qualitative research. Informants in this study were shifting cultivation farmers from the Dayak Meratus Tribe in Haratai Village, Loksado Village, and Loklahung Village, Loksado District, which was selected by snowball sampling. The results of this study indicate that there are three livelihood strategies for farm household farmers: accumulation, consolidation, and survival. The dominant strategy base is agricultural diversification to meet household needs. The selection of household livelihood strategies is related to the socio-economic conditions of the household, the use of resources (the condition of assets owned, domestic workers of working age), and job diversification.
