Abstract
An investigation entitled “Economic Contribution of Farming System Components towards Livelihood Security in Jammu Region” was conducted in all the three agro-climatic zones namely temperate, intermediate and sub-tropical zones of Jammu region during the year 2011. Four blocks from each agro-climatic zone and two villages from each block were selected randomly for the present study. From each village, respondents were selected randomly using proportional allocation method, so as to constitute a total sample size of 80 in each climatic zone and overall total sample of 240. The total number of respondents following cereal based farming system was 52, 54 and 39 in temperate, intermediate and sub-tropical zones respectively, whereas it was 28, 25 and 41 respectively in livestock based farming systems. However, in intermediate zone one respondent was following fruit based farming system which accounted for 1.25 per cent of the total sample respondents.
