摘要

Research shows that most farmers, both domestically and abroad, do not fully grasp scientific and technological concepts and techniques; instead, they farm only for the joy of farming. This study’s primary goal is to look at the structures, adaption methods, and integrated farming system (IFS) used for the irrigation and agriculture processes in the South 24 Parganas blocks in India. The primary and secondary data for the current study were gathered via surveys, satellite pictures, and a variety of published and unpublished sources. The findings showed that the farmers had changed from producing crops as their primary source of income to several integrated farming systems to deal with the effects of climate change and the existing natural hazards. Additionally, the results indicated that the respondents’ general education level (39.39%) was mediocre. A significant proportion of the participants, 42.42%, were able to work independently and were primarily in the 40–60 age range. The IFS, seen as a labor-intensive endeavor in the case study sites, possesses a substantial potential workforce because of the dedicated responders themselves. Around 39.39% of the respondents were classified as having a medium income farmers. Policymakers, local authorities, and other stakeholders may find this research useful in promoting the sustainable development of farmers in the South 24 Parganas district.
