Based on accurately identifying farmers' livelihood risks, this paper investigates the effects of farmers' livelihood assets on their livelihood risks and adaptation strategies. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with farmers in Rugao City. The results show that natural risks and market risks are the main livelihood risks for farmers in agricultural production. Farmers' social, financial and human assets can mitigate their livelihood risks in agricultural production, while natural and physical assets have the opposite effects. Most farmers chose crop variety adjustment, water and fertilizer management, agricultural finance and agrotechnical support to deal with livelihood risks. Social, natural and physical assets have significant and positive effects on farmers' adoption of adaptation strategies, while human and financial assets have relatively weak influences.
基于准确识别农民生计风险，本文研究了农民生计资产对其生计风险和适应策略的影响。通过对如皋市农民进行面对面访谈。结果表明，自然风险和市场风险是农业生产中农民的主要生计风险。农民的社会、金融和人力资产可以减轻他们在农业生产中的生计风险，而自然和物质资产则有相反的影响。大多数农民选择通过调整作物品种、水肥管理、农业金融和农业技术支持来应对生计风险。社会、自然和物质资产对农民采用适应策略有显著的积极影响，而人力和金融资产的影响相对较弱。
