This paper reviews the many aspects of livelihood diversification in rural Bangladesh, particularly emphasizing its causes, consequences, and policy implications. Because natural catastrophes, economic shocks, and restricted possibilities are commonplace in rural Bangladesh, diversifying one’s income stream is crucial to fostering resilience and lowering poverty.  Secondary sources like academic journals, government documents, online repositories, foreign reports, and local case studies were used to inform and corroborate the recommended integrated farming approaches. The study looks at the theoretical underpinnings, relevance, and conceptual framework of livelihood diversification in Bangladesh. It also evaluates the impact of various methods on social capital, food security, and stable income. It highlights how diversification may disperse risk and provide new revenue streams to boost rural resilience. This research adds to the current conversation on rural development and poverty reduction by analyzing the dynamics of livelihood diversification in Bangladesh. The findings will be helpful to development experts and policymakers who want to help rural families achieve resilient and sustainable livelihoods in Bangladesh and also to find out the research gap in this area.
Keywords:

Livelihood, Livelihood Diversification, Rural Vulnerability, Diversification Strategies, Bangladesh.
