Increasing Income and Employment through Sustainable Farming Systems in Water Scarce Region of Uttar Pradesh

Shalander Kumar, D.K. Jain and Rajvir Singh

Agricultural Economics Research Review, 2006, vol. 19, issue 01

Abstract: The farming systems in the water-scarce region of semiarid Uttar Pradesh have been examined. The availability of land and also of water has become the most limiting factors in farming for increasing the levels of farm income and employment. Therefore, an effort has been made to suggest sustainable farming systems through optimization of farm resources and also by putting restriction on the availability of irrigation water. It has been shown that the income and employment could be increased in the water-scarce situation if the farm resources are utilized optimally and less water-requiring crops/ activities are selected in the farm plan.
