Abstract: The present investigation was conducted in three agro-climatic zones namely temperate, intermediate and sub-tropical zones of Jammu region. Four blocks from each agro-climatic zone and two villages from each block were selected randomly for the present study. From each village, respondents were selected randomly using proportional allocation method, so as to constitute a total sample size of 80 in each climatic zone and overall total sample of 240. The input-output model was used to examine the inter-linkages between the various enterprises of the farming system. The transaction matrix results indicated that the family labour had the highest input-output coefficient for all the consuming sectors for all the farming systems in all the zones. However, weak inter-linkages were observed between various enterprises.
