Abstract
The present communication records the attitude of farmers towards agro-forestry programme in Kerala. The most important finding of the study is that many of the farmers are neutral or undecided in their attitude towards the Agro-forestry programme. Present study also indicated that the important constraints perceived by farmers were, viz., the unavailability of water, unavailability of desired plant species, and smaller size of land holding. Like-wise the important constraints perceived by Agro-forestry personnel were, viz., the inadequacy of staff, counterpropaganda by certain organisations, inadequacy of publicity and extention work. The Agro-forestry programme can be a success in Kerala if necessary steps are taken to overcome these constraints.
