These constraints are compounded by remoteness of habitations, poor communications- network and negligible development. In these context, subsistence agriculture, supported by animal husbandry and traditional crafts is the only available livelihood options.

In addition desert areas within district Layyah are exposed to climate change, affecting their livelihood and ecology.
