Rural poverty refers to the condition of individuals and families living in countryside areas who lack sufficient financial resources to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. This type of poverty is often characterized by limited access to education, job opportunities, and essential services, which can perpetuate a cycle of disadvantage. Factors contributing to rural poverty include low agricultural productivity, lack of infrastructure, and economic isolation. Many rural communities depend on agriculture, and fluctuations in crop prices or natural disasters can severely impact their livelihoods. Addressing rural poverty requires targeted policies and programs that promote sustainable development and improve access to resources.
