dc.description.abstractDiversified farming system involving crops, fruit trees, agroforestry, animal husbandry, fisheries in farm ponds or tanks and farm mechanization, is the only option for sustaining the livelihood and pave the ways for profitable agriculture in dry land. Current dry land farming systems and practices have to be surveyed to catogerise the ecological, social, cultural and political environments in which these systems operates. Evaluation of strength and weaknesses of existing systems and possible means of improving then have to be the next set of goals. Integrated farming system averts farmers getting below disaster level of income due to monsoon failures. Livestock is a critical component of the farming mechanism to cope with drought in rainfed areas. In rainfall dependent systems, sheep and goat play predominant role. There is a vital need for agroforestry research because alternate land use systems play a major role in the risk management of rainfed agriculture. Agroforestry provides opportunities of not only preventing further degradation of marginal lands but also obtain additional income. Considerable research efforts are being made in developing improved agroforestry systems. Literature on alternate land use system in dry land is reviewed and presented below.en_US
