Abstract


A livelihood strategy contains steps to do something wisely and appropriately to achieve goals. To survive, rubber farmers cannot rely solely on rubber plantations; they must look for alternatives outside rubber farming. This study aimed to describe the livelihood resources and analyze the livelihood strategies of rubber farmers' households in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan during the rainy season. This study used a survey method, and the respondents were rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan, with a total of 40 respondents. The data analysis employed for this research was a quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the ownership of resources among rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan was in the medium category. In the rainy season, the livelihood strategy was primarily focused on increasing yields by intensifying agricultural land through clearing. The extensification strategy was carried out by becoming laborers, accounting for  13 (32,5%) households, while the diversification strategy involved activities such as sand collection and fish catching, representing 8 (20%) households of the respondents. However, migration was not a chosen strategy among rubber farmers in Nagari Tanjung Bonai Aur Selatan.
