In order to explore the sustainable development of farmers' livelihoods in mountainous areas and its influencing factors, we relied on the sustainable livelihood framework and combined village natural resource data extracted from high-resolution remote sensing images with rural household survey data. We analyzed the levels of livelihood capital and livelihood stability among rural households in the Wumeng Mountains, measured the degree of coupling and coordination between the two, and explored the factors influencing the degree of coupling and coordination. The findings reveal that: 1) The average level of livelihood capital among rural households is low and its structure is unbalanced, and the livelihood stability overall is at a medium level. While rural households' incomes exhibit a certain degree of diversity, there is also a strong reliance on a single source of income. 2) The overall coupling coordination degree between rural households’ livelihood capital and livelihood stability is low, which is characterized by a harmonious yet lagging development of livelihood capital. 3) The coupling coordination degree between rural households’ livelihood capital and livelihood stability is influenced by multiple factors, and the manifestations of these factors vary significantly under different terrain conditions. Based on this, this study puts forward policy suggestions from three aspects as follows: Optimizing the livelihood capital structure of farmers, strengthening the diversification ability of farmers' livelihood strategies and using remote sensing image technology to strengthen the management of village natural resources.
