Abstract

Farming system has immense potential for the improvement of rural economy. Farming system approach is essential to achieve better growth in agriculture and livelihood. An attempt has been made to study the economic aspects of farming systems, along with resource productivity analysis of different farming systems and its constraints in Apatani farming community of Arunachal Pradesh. For the purpose a total sample of 120 Apatani farmers from four villages namely; Hari, Hija, Hong and Bulla of Ziro valley of Lower Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh were selected through purposive and random sampling methods using well-structured interview schedule. It was observed that the elasticity of coefficient of manures, fertilisers and agro chemicals was negative and insignificant in fishery based FS. The study revealed that the value of adjusted coefficient of multiple determination (R2) is very high explaining 96 per cent of the variations in cereal based FS by the explanatory variables included in the regression analysis. Efforts should be made towards appraising the Apatani farmers of appropriate techniques and application of modern inputs for better production in different farming systems. There is a need of strong policy support for promoting farming system with easier credit flow, subsidy and agricultural insurance, market linkage with establishments of village cluster development programme in the study area.
