Abstract
Pandemic Covid 19 has affected all life sectors. One of the sectors affected by this condition is the livelihood strategies of the farmers. This research aimed to identify the livelihood strategies of farmers in Padang City during Covid-19. The research was conducted using a survey method in three selected districts in Padang City, namely Kuranji, Pauh, and Koto Tangah. They were selected based on the most populated districts in Padang City. 150 households were interviewed, which represented 50 households of each district. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The research results show that there are two kinds of livelihood strategies both on-farm and off-farm, which are survival strategy and collaborative strategy. Households that using survival strategies are characterized by limited natural resources, such as limited land, and do not have any permanent job in the off-farm sector. While households using collaborative strategy are characterized by the utilization of family labor in an informal off-farm sector such as small scale business and any work that relies on labor.
