    Integrated farming system is a mix of farm enterprises in which farm families allocate resources for efficient utilization of the existing enterprises for enhancing productivity and profitability of the farm. The present study examined the different types of IFS practised by farmers; linkages across different enterprises in IFS; component-wise employment and income generation by different types of IFS; and constraints in different types of IFS. The study was conducted in Chickballapur district of Karnataka. The primary data was collected from a sample of 60 IFS farmers of Chintamani taluk of Chickballapur district. The study revealed that majority (33.34 %) of the sample IFS farms were sericulture based farming systems followed by dairy based farming systems and olericulture based farming systems (25 % each); and dryland based farming systems (16.16 %). In majority (76.6 %) of the farms, the linkages among agriculture, dairy, sheep rearing and goat farming enterprises were prevalent. Among sericulture based farming systems, the highest employment (825 person days) and the highest net returns (Rs. 8,67,000/-) were generated in the case of farming system comprising of sericulture, agriculture, dairy, goat farming, piggery, apiculture and agroforestry enterprises. In the case of dairy based farming systems, the highest employment (536 person days) and the highest net returns (Rs. 4,08,275/-) were generated in the case of farming system consisting of dairy, agriculture, sericulture, horticulture and piggery enterprises. The major production constraint faced by IFS farmers was high cost of production while the major marketing constraint faced by them was price fluctuations.
