| Description: | Excellent and prime agricultural technologies even when as technically sound are of limited value and scope if they are not adopted and accepted by the farmers. The farmers need those technologies which increase their net returns and livelihood with keeping minimum risk and within their own purview and management practices. In the era of modernization, the traditional transfers of technology models are inadequate to the meet multiple objectives of poverty reduction, food security, competitiveness, sustainability and demand of the farming community. Keeping these points in mind, to develop and transfer location specific high income generating integrated farming system technologies and models to meet the specific client demand and emphasis on farmer’s participatory research is now gaining momentum in India and that too in North East India. Attempts have been made to integrate the desirable components of farming system research into the mainstream agricultural research so that the technologies developed are relevant, client-oriented and location specific. The Agriculture in the Manipur is complex, diverse and risk prone (CDR) and land is fragmented. Almost 80 per cent population of the region is dependent on agriculture. The farmers are resource poor and practice agriculture mostly for subsistence farming. About 85 per cent of the farmers are small and marginal but sharing only 40 per cent of the land. The hill soil is fragile and less fertile with high acidic in reaction. The crop productivity is very low mainly due to lack of resources, non-adoption of improved technologies and fragile ecosystems. Integrated farming system is a reliable way of obtaining high productivity with substantial nutrient economy for higher resource use efficiency in combination with maximum compatibility and replenishment of organic matter by way of effective recycling of organic residues/wastes etc. obtained through integration of various land- based enterprises. The modules mentioned in this book under transfer of technology and research activities organized by ICAR Research Complex for NEH region, Manipur Centre, Imphal to impart knowledge about the methodology, benefits and component selection at the farmer’s field to increase the livelihood of the resource poor farmers with limited land and other resources. In this book, we tried to cover almost all the aspects related integrated farming system from enterprise selection to integration. We hope that the book will be a valuable source of information for students, teachers, scientists, extension functionaries and policy planners. |
