Investigations were carried out in Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur district of Karnataka during 2012-14 to find out a sustainable mixed farming model which is economically viable by integrating the different components like crops, livestock, poultry, rabbits and fish on a 2.5 acre land holding. Seven integrated farming system models were developed to find out the best package on the land holding of 2.5 acre suitable for the North-East Karnataka region. Among various IFS models, F7 model registered highest net returns (Rs. 1,89,069 ha/year) and least observed in conventional cotton alone (F1) system (Rs. 74,592 ha/year). The similar trend was observed in return per day, diversity index and employment generation (Rs. 518/day, 2.92 and 206 mandays/ha/year).Keywords
Cost, Diversity Index, Employment, Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) Modules, Returns.

This study characterizes existing farming systems adopted by small and marginal farmers in Raichur district of North-East Karnataka (16° 12' N latitude and 77° 20' E longitude at an altitude of 389 m above the mean sea level). A rapid rural appraisal was conducted via informal discussions with 125 randomly selected farmers (25 farmers each from Raichur, Manvi, Sindhnur, Lingusugur and Devdurga talukas of Raichur district) using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire. Farming was the main income-generating source for the majority of households in the area. This study distinguished farms based on various farm enterprises adopted in their respective farms viz., crop based, dairy based, small ruminants (goat/sheep) based, vegetable based, agro-forestry based, horticulture based etc. Paddy, cotton, maize, ground nut, vegetables, cattle, sheep/goat and poultry farming were the major farming activities that were undertaken by the farmers. Socio-economic status of most of farmers is determined by farming system adopted in their farm. Proper integration among crop-livestock farming activities could be suggested as a better solution to enhance long term sustainability as well as farmers’ living standards by improving farm production. Among 125 farmers selected for characterization 98.4 per cent of the farmers adopted crop based farming system.Keywords
