Abstract
Agro forestry as a sustainable agricultural system is being widely promoted all over the world. This case study investigates into the agricultural extension services provided and its economic contribution to farmers who practicing the mixed inter-cropping agro forestry technology, mango, silver oak, teak, cereals in villages of southern Karnataka. The differences between adopters and non-adopters of agro forestry technology based on poor AES delivery in terms of research information, agricultural performance and limited interaction between researcher, extension workers and farmers of agro forestry, also in terms of their age, size of the family, extension contact, income sources and other socioeconomic variables are examined. Results from analysis suggest that extension contact, size of the family, and age of the farmer are important variables in determining the adoption of agro forestry models for improvement of their livelihoods. It was observed that farmers modified technologies to suit their situation. This suggests that local participation is important in technology development and less land holding and monsoon variation are the important constraints for adoption of agr-horti, horti-silvi, agri-silvi-pasture systems. Results shown than increase in income level, sustainable use of agriculture production factors and AES helps farmers to get appropriate benefits.
