Prediction of Crop Income and Productivity from some Factors of Social Ecology in a given Farming Situation : The Interpretation and Inference

AbstractProductivity, income have got classical propensity to move in mutual contradiction. Albeit, an operational reconciliation has been possible when these are put to a process of synchronization. With the escalation of income in an expected situation, it is deemed that the livelihood will have a proportionate change. The present study has been conducted in Mitrapur, Haringhata block, Nadia district of West Bengal, India, on 75 respondents selected through the snowball sampling technique. The research location has an intrinsic property of seamless modernization with the farmers’ participatory process and entrepreneurial institutionalization. The following dependent/criterion variables viz. productivity and income have been elucidated and estimated by a score of 16 exogenous variables. The data have been collected during the month of May, June and July in 2022. The following variables have been isolated as the strong determinant in characterising the clandestine integrations and reconciliation between and amongst productivity, income; and these are age, education, family size, income, expenditure, homestead land, economic land, electricity Consumption, fuel consumption, Market interaction land, Group interaction, Distant Matrix, Innovation proneness, market orientation, bio-diversity index, soil conservation. The following factors viz. Family size, homestead land, distant Matrix, innovation proneness, diversity index have been elicited as to have immense strategic implications for delineating micro levels policy intervention for an isochronous up scaling of income and productivity.
