Agro-ecotourism, a novel concept in the Indian tourism industry, is characterized by the collaborative engagement of the farming sector, tourism industry, and agricultural businesses, in conjunction with ecosystem services. This study was conducted in the Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu districts of Karnataka, employing purposive random sampling to select respondents. The research revealed that the annual income generated from agro-ecotourism (Rs. 18,72,820) surpassed that from agriculture (Rs. 8,21,667). The establishment cost of agro-ecotourism units was Rs. 32,55,440, with working costs amounting to Rs. 5,67,371 and fixed costs at Rs. 3,22,008. Despite this investment, the net returns amounted to Rs. 9,83,441, exceeding those from farming activities. The study underscores the significant contribution of agroecotourism initiatives in providing employment and additional income to rural communities through both forward and backward linkages. Strengthening these linkages is essential to mitigate rural youth migration.

“…Among the different types of production functions, Cobb Douglas production function was chosen to examine the resource use efficiency in paddy production due to its relative advantage over other production functions [11]. Its application in estimating the resource use efficiency in agriculture has been proved by many researchers [12,13]. It was used to assess how efficiently the scarce resources are allocated in the cultivation process of rice and also how various inputs and outputs produced in the selected locale are related to each other.…”

Rice is one of the foremost and principal food crops in the world, feeding more than four billion people primarily in Asia and India stands second in the production of rice after China with highest production. Even though rice is a staple food of Kerala, it occupies less than 7.7 per cent of the total cropped area. Kerala is known for its cultivation of paddy below the sea level. Salt water intrusion is the major problem in these areas. In this context, the present study aims to examine the efficiency of resource-use in paddy production in the salinity affected and the unaffected areas of Alappuzha District in Kerala. The study was based on the primary data collected from 50 rice farmers, viz 25 from salt water affected and 25 from unaffected areas and Cobb Douglas production function was used to estimate the resource use efficiency. The study revealed that the inputs viz., hired labour, manures and fertilizers, soil ameliorants, plant protection chemicals, machine and bullock labour power had a positive and significant effect on the rice yield in both salinity affected and unaffected areas. The returns to scale worked out for unaffected and affected farmers was 2.24 and 1.31 respectively. Chow test revealed that there is a significant difference in coefficients between the factors affecting yield of paddy among the salt water affected and the unaffected farmers. Marginal productivity analysis revealed that economic efficiency of all the variables except manures and fertilizers was more than one, indicating their sub-optimum usage and there exist the chances of improving the yield by the enhanced application of these inputs.

“…Shortage of water supply were the major problem observed by the rainfed paddy growers of eastern dry zone of Karnataka. (Shivamurthy et al 2008) [12] . Mango growers from Srinivaspur region of Karnataka faced lack of technical know-how, and lack of awareness on drip irrigation technology in adopting drip to the mango orchards.…”

Water is the fundamental and most needed resource to every organism on the earth. Being a community resource as well, water source needs to manage as a shared pool under public trust to achieve food security, extend livelihood and ensure equitable and sustainable development for the long run sustenance of the ecosystem. change in the trend of extraction and usage of borewells is due to an increase in groundwater utilization of the state from 65% to 70% for various purposes. , central and state had put efforts to regulate groundwater use by individual Well owners. Despite these initiatives from the government, there is still availability of efficient groundwater use by farmers showed little success. Hence. In this regard, the research problem to elicit constraints and seek suggestions for improving adoption of groundwater conservation practice was taken up. The results of the study reveal that the constraints faced by the farmers in adopting groundwater conservation practices among that the institutional supply constraints ranked first with a percentage of 76.38 followed by technical (74.44%) constraints second, socio-economic (72.77%) constraints third, situational (69.44%) constraints fourth, and the last financial (63.51%) constraints at fifth place. The majority of marginal farmers have given suggestion that Govt. should come up with initiatives keeping in view of demand side of groundwater (90.00%), Subsidies on electricity need to be cut short and encourage on use of solar pump sets (90.00%), Provision of sufficient financial assistance for taking up water conservation structures (80.00%) and Tank irrigation needs more concentration (76.67%).
