Evidence from communal farming systems in South Africa","https:\u002F\u002Fdoi.org\u002F10.3389\u002Ffsufs.2026.1944104","Introduction Household income is a key indicator of rural welfare and livelihood sustainability among smallholder livestock farming households. Methods This study examined the determinants of household income using survey data collected from communal livestock farmers in South Africa. A multiple linear regression model was employed to assess the influence of demographic, socio-economic, and livestock-related factors on household income. Results Age, household size, and employment status significantly and positively influenced household income, whereas gender, education, farming experience, and livestock holdings were not statistically significant. Employment status emerged as the strongest determinant, highlighting the importance of diversified livelihood strategies that combine livestock production with wage employment and self-employment. Discussion The findings support the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework by demonstrating that household welfare is influenced more by the interaction of human and financial capital than by livestock assets alone. Although livestock remains an important livelihood resource, its economic contribution depends on broader livelihood opportunities and market participation. The study concludes that policies aimed at improving rural household welfare should move beyond increasing livestock ownership to promote livestock commercialisation, rural employment, youth participation, and livelihood diversification. These findings contribute to the growing literature on rural livelihoods and provide evidence to inform integrated rural development policies that seek to enhance household income, resilience, and sustainable agricultural development among South Africa’s smallholder livestock farming households.","引言 家庭收入是小农畜牧养殖户农村福利与生计可持续性的关键指标。方法 本研究利用从南非社区畜牧养殖户收集的调查数据，考察了家庭收入的决定因素。采用多元线性回归模型评估人口特征、社会经济和畜牧相关因素对家庭收入的影响。结果 年龄、家庭规模和就业状况对家庭收入具有显著正向影响，而性别、教育、养殖经验和牲畜存栏量的影响在统计上不显著。就业状况是最强的决定因素，凸显了将畜牧生产与工资就业及自营职业相结合的生计多样化策略的重要性。讨论 研究结果支持可持续生计框架，表明家庭福利更多受到人力资本与金融资本相互作用的影响，而非仅取决于牲畜资产。尽管牲畜仍是重要的生计资源，但其经济贡献取决于更广泛的生计机会和市场参与。研究结论认为，旨在改善农村家庭福利的政策应超越增加牲畜所有权的范畴，转而促进牲畜商业化、农村就业、青年参与和生计多样化。这些发现为不断增长的农村生计文献作出了贡献，并为旨在提升南非小农畜牧养殖户家庭收入、韧性和可持续农业发展的综合农村发展政策提供了证据参考。",null,"Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems","2026-09-16T00:00:00Z","论文",10,false,68,{"impact":17,"substance":18,"depth":19,"authority":20,"freshness":13,"relevant":21,"comment":22},12,18,15,13,1,"基于南非社区畜牧农户调查的实证研究，结论指向生计多样化与畜牧商业化，对发展中国家小农户增收政策有参考价值，但属区域性研究、非国内三农信息化热点。",[24],{"name":10,"url":6},[26,27,28,29,30],"小农户","畜牧养殖","南非农业","生计多样化","农村就业",0,"10.3389\u002Ffsufs.2026.1944104",{"doi":32,"openalex_id":34,"authors":35,"venue":10,"cited_by_count":31,"oa_url":6,"card":50,"direction":54,"ingested_from":56},"W7213221852",[36,38,41,44,47],{"name":37,"orcid":9},"Tshifhiwa Noluthando Labase",{"name":39,"orcid":40},"Lwandiso Mdiya","https:\u002F\u002Forcid.org\u002F0000-0002-2207-9261",{"name":42,"orcid":43},"Mashford Zenda","https:\u002F\u002Forcid.org\u002F0000-0001-6069-8226",{"name":45,"orcid":46},"Siphe Zantsi","https:\u002F\u002Forcid.org\u002F0000-0001-9787-3913",{"name":48,"orcid":49},"Mhlangabezi Slayi","https:\u002F\u002Forcid.org\u002F0000-0003-1276-7789",{"tldr":51,"method":52,"finding":53,"direction":54,"opportunity":55},"基于南非社区农户调查，用多元回归分析小农畜牧家庭收入的决定因素。","南非社区畜牧农户问卷调查，多元线性回归模型。","就业状况是收入最强决定因素，牲畜持有量不显著，需生计多样化。","数字乡村与农业信息化","可探索数字化就业信息与市场参与如何促进小农畜牧家庭生计多样化与增收。","openalex","2026-09-16T23:30:07.419432Z"]
