Abstract: This study investigates the current sesame farming practices in Myanmar and evaluates the impact of conservation agriculture (CA) techniques on the livelihood of farmers in the Central Dry Zone. Data were collected from 130 randomly selected farmers, and multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the effects of CA farming on their income, expenditure, and wellbeing. The results highlight that while CA farming improves soil quality and reduces land degradation, it does not significantly enhance farmers income due to limited adoption of diversified crops.
