In response to increasing pressure on the agriculture sector, the Taiwan government has implemented a number of development projects, many of which focus on agricultural tourism, to help farmers diversify their sources of income. This article, applying a sustainable livelihood (sl) framework, aims to provide an understanding of the effects of pick-your-own (pyo) farms, as one type of agricultural tourism, upon farmers' livelihoods. Preliminary results indicate that the pyo farm programme has encouraged participant farmers to adopt a series of strategies to benefit from the government-led initiatives and that transforming processes (eg government policies, regulations and institutions) have significantly affected farmers' decisions on livelihood strategies. The article shows that the impact of agricultural tourism in Taiwan is highly complex and that assessment of its contribution to farmers' livelihoods cannot be limited to farm-level economic analysis
