This study investigates the key constraints hindering the adoption of Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) among 480 farmers across three districts in Telangana. Utilizing Garrett’s ranking and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance, the analysis revealed that lack of credit availability was the most significant constraint to IFS adoption, with the highest mean Garrett score of 68.50, followed by unavailability of remunerative prices (54.00) and labour shortage (52.50) with variations in perception across landholding categories. The moderate but significant concordance (W = 0.46, p< 0.01) suggests shared constraints among farmer groups. Findings highlight the need for targeted policy measures such as credit facilitation, price assurance mechanisms and labour-saving interventions to promote IFS adoption and enhance farm sustainability.
