Lalthankhumi1 & Joseph Lalmalsawma 2* 1Department of Education, Govt. Aizawl College, Aizawl, India 2Department of Public Administration, Govt. Aizawl West College, Aizawl, India * [email protected] Joseph Lalmalsawma: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5723-0577 ABSTRACT Agriculture constitutes one of the major sources of income among the people of Mizoram. The areas used for cultivation in Mizoram are usually slashed and burnt down to ashes and are abandoned for years, the land is used and the same plot is re-use after 3-5 years. More than half of the total population is either directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. However, the income from agriculture is less than 5% of the State Gross Domestic Product (State Economic Report, 2015). In the last few decades Mizoram witnessed several changes in agriculture pattern as many farmers have been shifting from cultivation to small- scale agricultural farming. This paper highlights the transformation of agricultural practices and the major factors affecting agricultural production and attempt is made to examine the prevailing socio- economic aspects associated with farmers with special reference to Lawngtlai Rural Development Block and a questionnaire method was used for collecting relevant information for the purpose. The research found that there exist major transformations of agricultural practices in the last couple of decades. The cycle of shifting agriculture period has been shortened drastically. It is also revealed that farmers are gradually adopting settled farming from shifting agriculture and that government intervention and assistance has been increasing more and more in this field. It is suggested that agricultural practice be transformed from jhuming to settled farming and from cultivating the traditional crops to cash crops with governmental and institutional support for shifting to higher income in agricultural and horticultural crops. Keywords: Agricultural Farming, Settled Farming, Jhuming, Horticulture, Cultivation, Economic Sustainability, Subsistence. © SJMS, 2020 1 Senhri Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, Vol. 5, No. 2 (July - December 2020), p. 01-08 Introduction During winter the temperature ranges from 8°C to 24°C and during summer, the Lawngtlai district is situated in the temperature varies between 18°C and 32°C. southern part of Mizoram and the district The western side of the district has lower shared international boundary with altitude in contrast to the eastern side, and Myanmar to the east and Bangladesh to the thus it has a little warmer climate than the west.

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

Siaha district is comprised of numerous hills and valleys and is rich in vegetation and forests. Jhum cultivation is still widely practiced as the traditional farming system. The cropping pattern of the Siaha district is characterized by the predominance of rice as the lead crop. Agricultural crops account for more than 65 percent of the gross cropped area which indicates the prevalence of subsistence agriculture and lack of crop diversification.
