Several Integrated Farming Systems were observed under rain fed as well as irrigated situation in Bharuch and Surat districts of South Gujarat through survey conducted in 144 households through multistage random sampling technique. The study was pertaining the data of the year 2009- 10. Besides this, number of constraints were seen which were faced by the farmers to carry out the systems. The highest per cent of peoples are engaged in sugarcane based farming system with recording 40.28 per cent whereas, lowest in live stock based with having only 1.39 per cent.
