Under the rural revitalization strategy,farmers’livelihood strategy is transitioning from unitary traditional agriculture to multiple dominant strategy.The adoption of non-agricultural livelihood strategy is not only a mitigation plan for agricultural livelihood vulnerability,but also a means to achieve the goal of rural revitalization.Based on the relevant literature from 2000 to 2023,this study adopts meta-analysis method to comprehensively review the re-searches on non-agricultural livelihood strategy selection at home and abroad,and discusses the influence of live-lihood capital on non-agricultural livelihood strategy selection from the perspective of sustainable livelihood.The findings are as follows:First,the direct effects of livelihood capital on non-agricultural livelihood strategy selection are different:financial capital,human capital and social capital all have promoting effects on farmers’non-agricul-tural livelihood strategy selection;Natural capital has inhibitory effect on farmers’choice of non-agricultural liveli-hood strategy.The effect of physical capital on farmers’non-agricultural livelihood strategy selection is not signifi-cant.Second,non-agricultural livelihood types and terrain characteristics have a moderating effect on non-agri-cultural livelihood strategy selection:both non-agricultural livelihood types(engaged in industry or business)and terrain characteristics have a moderating effect on the relationship between livelihood capital and non-agricultural livelihood strategy selection.Therefore,farmers can be guided to choose non-agricultural livelihood strategies by optimizing the allocation of livelihood capital.
