Comparative Study on Poverty Reduction Strategies in the Context of Ecological Sustainability

The strategy of poverty reduction has long been an important issue in development research. Given that most underdeveloped regions are trapped in a dilemma where ecological destruction and poverty are mutually dependent, this paper chooses to compare the poverty reduction strategies of Tongzi County, China and Humbo, Ethiopia, in the context of ecological sustainability, in order to explore the methodology of poverty reduction in practice and to provide theoretical support for international poverty governance. After this study, it is found that the similarities between the two research objects are manifested similarities in prioritization ecological governance, sustainability and local job creation, but differences in terms of sources of income for participants, impact on local crop cultivation structure and levels of project autonomy. while the similarities and differences are manifested in the sources of income, the structure of crop planting and the degree of autonomy. It is hoped that this paper can provide some reference and assistance in poverty management in less developed areas of developing and developed countries with different economic bases, natural conditions and implementation capacities globally.
