ABSTRACT
Introduction
Indian economy is predominantly rural and agriculture oriented,
where the declining trend in the average size of the holding poses a
serious problem. Besides this majority of agricultural activities are
concerned to dry lands and activities under irrigated area depends on
the performance of monsoon. In this context, if farmers concentrate on
crop production they will be subjected to a high degree of uncertainty
in income and employment. Hence it is imperative to evolve suitable
strategy for augmenting the income of the farmer by combining
than are enterprise in their farm & increase the productivity and
supplement the income.
In this context the whole farm demonstration programmes
(WFDP) provides firm base in bringing the changes in the farming
techniques for maximizing production and takes care in
optimum utilization of available farm resources. It also provides an
opportunity in handling the farm wastes in the production process.
Further a judicious mix of agricultural related enterprises like dairy,
goat and sheep, poultry, piggery, fisheries, sericulture etc., suitable to
the given Agri-climate and socio-economic status of the farmers would
bring prosperity in the farming. Keeping in view the advantages of the
WFDP, for educating the farmers on WFDP an attempt was made to
establish the program on the field of Shri Goolappa Akki at Yemmetti
village of Kalghtagi taluq of Dharwad district. This program was
initiated for achieving the following objectives.
1. To encourage the farmers to take up improved crop cultivation
practice.
2. To assist farmers to develop other subsidiary enterprises (dairy,
sericulture, poultry, etc.).
3. To educate farmers on farm, account keeping for making rational
decision at farm level.
METHODOLOGY
To carry out the programme the receptivity of the farmer plays an
important role. Before taking up any activities, initially detailed bench
mark information was collected for the period of 2002-03. In order to
arrive at profitable income level over a period of three years (2003-04
to 2005-06) feasible farm plans were developed with suitable mix of
enterprises under individual goal. The suitable information was
generated and analysis to get meaningful results on different economic
indicators and compared between the years for arriving at meaningful
conclusion.
In “Integrated Farming System”, the following interventions have been
introduced.
