dc.description.abstractThis study assessed household assets and livelihood strategies among tobacco-growers in comparison to non-tobacco-growing households in the south Nyanza region, Kenya. Although households engage in tobacco farming to improve their living standards, tobacco farming is found to be responsible for poor and un-sustainable livelihoods in the region. The study established that an annual net income of a non-tobacco farmer is higher than that of a tobacco farmer with an average annual difference of $198, which is a significant margin in rural areas. Also, more non-tobacco farming households have better housing quality and educational levels, and higher enterprise diversity than their counterparts.en
