dc.description.abstractIn Shyamakhunta and Badasahi Block of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, the present study entitled “A Study on Socio-economic Analysis of Different Agroforestry Systems in Mayurbhanj District, Odisha” was conducted during 2020-21 with the objectives 1. To analyse economics of different Agroforestry Systems in Mayurbhanj district 2. To study different Agroforestry systems adopted by villagers 3. To assess the socio-economic characters of farmers From the study it was found that mainly seven major agroforestry practices adopted in the area including Silvi-horti, Agri-Horti, Agri- Silvi-Horti, Bund Plantation, Agrisilviculture, Homestead and Block Plantation. Among the selected agroforestry systems, it had been found that Blockplantation system was most profitable having BCR of 5.38 followed by > Agrisilviculture (2.04) > Bund Plantation (2.01) >Homestead (1.92) > Silvihorti (1.48) >Agri Horti (1.40) > Agri Silvi Horti (1.27). The study also revealed that the highest economic benefit, as well as resource conservation was possible when tree crops are in monoculture or with associated with different crop species along with NPV of Homestead (Rs10,75,637/-) morethan Blockplantation (Rs 9,99,013/-) followed by AgriHorti (Rs5,46,080/-), Agrisilviculture (Rs 3,20,812/-), Silvihorti (Rs2,64,959/-), Bund Plantation(Rs 2,04,413/-) and AgriSilvi Horti (Rs84,572/-). The IRR of different systems were calculated maximum for Homestead (84.32%) followed by Bund plantation (61.76%) > Block plantation (58.15%) > Agri silvi (49.86%) > Agri silvi horti(48.75%) > Silvi horti (48.52%) and least for Agri horti (45%). The most preferred forest tree species was Acacia sp, Teak (Tectona grandis), Subabul (Leucaena leucocephala) etc while the most preferred fruit tree species adopted by farmers were Mango (Mangifera indica), Guava (Psidium guajava), Banana (Musa paradisiaca ), Papaya (Carica papaya). Various inter crops were grown mostly Cowpea, Ragi and horticultural crops like Turmeric, Ginger , Mango ginger , Garlic etc mostly preferred by farmers in the study area. As far as land area under farming practices observed in the study field, around 22 ha under Agrihorti followed by Homestead (19.1 ha), Bund plantation (18.5 ha), agrisilviculture (17 ha), Agri silvi horti (16.1 ha), Silvihorti (15 ha) and Block plantation (14.6 ha) and it shown the adoption of different systems by the farmers in the study area. The findings of the study revealed the importance of socio-economic factor while designing agroforestry models for the study area. The existing agroforestry practices also need improvement by incorporating more high yielding fruit, fodder and timber trees as per farmers’ choice. Through multi-stage randomized selections, the agroforestry practices and socioeconomic aspects were surveyed for 116 households in the two selected blocks. The present research was designed to examine the significance of agroforestry through agroforestry interventions for the socio-economic upliftment of rural households. The data was collectedthrough a structured interview schedule by personal interviews of the respondents along with through a farm visit, data on current agroforestry practices was collected. Demographic details of the villages were analyzed, including details of the family structure of the households, occupational profile, income, livestock status and poultry rearing. In the study area, the majority of respondents were middle-aged (37.9%) of 30-40 yrs age, illiterate (71.6%), unemployed (49.1%) and low-income(31%), married(87.1%). Most of them belonged to the Scheduled Tribe (57.8%) and all of the land were fully irrigated (100%) because of Govt. Scheme “Pradhan Mantri Jal Sinchai Yojana” Majority of people lived in thatched house (52.6%). The main sources of livelihood were agriculture and livestock rearing. Most of the farmers were either small (35.3%) or marginal farmers (27.6%). Agriculture was the primary occupation for their livelihood and revenue generation followed by agroforestry. From the correlation study of different socio-economic variables of the respondents found that marital status is positively correlated with literacy as well as employment status and literacy is positively correlated with types of family, household type was only significantly correlated with employment status and employment status is also significantly correlated with income and employment status is the only contributing variable for the income generation of the respondents. It was evident that there is only 17% contribution to the income generation of the respondents. The R square value i.e. 0.170 and it represented the overall contribution of socioeconomic variables to the annual income i.e. 17% . From the objective third it was found a strong link between the socioeconomic factors that were looked at and the adoption of agroforestry and these socioeconomic factors play an important role in the adoption of agroforestry activities.
