ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted in Chintamani taluk of Chickballapur district of Karnataka state. The study analysed the component-wise employment and income generation of different types of Integrated Farming System (IFS) from different enterprises practised by farmers. The primary data was collected from 60 farmer respondents practising IFS. The farming systems practised by the farmers were post-stratified into four categories, viz., sericulture based farming system, dairy based farming system, olericulture based farming system and dryland based farming system. Among these four farming systems, each farming system has different types of sub-farming systems. Accordingly, among sericulture based farming systems, the highest employment (825 person days) and the highest net returns (` 8,67,000/-) were generated in the case of farming system comprising of sericulture, agriculture, dairy, goat farming, piggery, apiculture and agroforestry enterprises while in the case of dairy based farming systems, the highest employment (536 person days) and the highest net returns (` 4,08,275/-) were generated in the case of farming system consisting of dairy, agriculture, sericulture, horticulture and piggery enterprises. In the case of olericulture based farming systems, the highest employment (530 person days) was generated in the case of agriculture, dairy, sericulture, poultry, piggery and vermicomposting enterprises and the highest net returns (` 3,40,429/-) were generated in the case of farming system consisting of agriculture, dairy, sericulture, sheep rearing, goat farming and poultry enterprises while in the case of dryland based farming systems, the highest employment (835 person days) and the highest net returns (`14,11,800/-) were generated in the case of farming system consisting of horticulture, agroforestry, dairy, sheep rearing, goat farming and piggery enterprises.
