Abstract: [Objectives] To explore pathways and countermeasures for transforming farmers' livelihoods in the way of reducing their dependence on land while promoting sustainable development and alleviating ecological degradation. [Methods] A combination of field research, literature review, and policy analysis was employed to identify key factors affecting farmers' livelihoods and potential strategies for transformation. [Results] The study found that developing ecological agriculture and modern agriculture, promoting agricultural transformation and upgrading, cultivating alternative industries, strengthening ecological engineering construction, and establishing diversified ecological compensation methods and supporting policies are effective strategies for transforming farmers' livelihoods. [Conclusions] Implementing these strategies can help alleviate the contradiction between ecological protection and farmers' livelihood development, promoting coordinated development of both. This approach not only benefits farmers but also contributes to sustainable environmental management and biodiversity conservation.
