ABSTRACT
Urbanization is defined as redistribution of population and change in the demographic balance between rural and urban areas or otherwise called as creation and expansion of cities. Urbanization has an impact on cropping pattern, cropping sequence and cropping intensity in urban fringe agriculture. The present study was conducted in rural-urban interface of North of Bengaluru. Sampling frame consists of vegetable farmers and non-vegetable farmers from north Bengaluru representing three layers (rural, transition and urban).A sample size of 30 vegetable farmers and 20 non-vegetable farmers from each layer were selected randomly to constitute a total sample of 150 farmers. The data were collected from pre-tested schedule by personal interview method. In comparison with different agricultural production systems of vegetable farmers, per cent decrease in farm holdings was more in pulses (33.24 % and 36.89 %) followed by cereals (22.50 % and 33.68 %) in both rural and transition regions, respectively, while, it was reverse in urban region. Among non-vegetable farmers, per cent decrease in land holdings was more in vegetables (92 %, 92.86 % and 86 %) in rural, transition and urban regions, respectively. Reduction in per cent land holdings of cereals, pulses, oilseeds, plantation crops and forest crops except for fruit crops, vegetables, fodder crops and flower crops in rural, transition and urban regions among vegetable growers implies that increased urbanization would lead to decrease in agricultural production of above crops.
