It is essential to understand the  role and nature of different enterprise  combinations with systems perspective, in order to  plan meticulously on how to integrate them for  optimum productivity. The study was conducted in  two coastal districts of Tamil Nadu by drawing a  proportional sample size of 150 while covering 8  villages and 4 blocks. Data were collected using  interview schedule and PRA tools and analysed with  suitable statistical techniques. A Sustainable  Livelihood Index was developed to ascertain the  contribution of variables in different enterprise  combinations. The constraints relating to  marketing, input, natural calamities, labour,  government support, pest \u0026amp; diseases and  infrastructure were ranked by the farmers in major  production systems. Adequate incentive support to  horticulture and fisheries enterprises and  production of value added farm products in every  village might improve input recycling of most of  the farming systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844319972\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSustainable Livelihood Through Intergated Coastal Farming Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844319972","offer_id":39470118436957,"sku":"9783844319972","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c1366ba4-32cb-44a2-9b4f-c90ecc1a8e86.jpg?v=1775712521","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/integrated-coastal-farming-systems-von-kuppusamy-ponnusamy","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
