摘要：Contract farming is gaining popularity among the resource poor farmers in Odisha nowadays. But, Sustainability of a farming practice is always a major concern for any new types of venture. Therefore, the present study has been done with the objective to assess the perceived sustainability of contract goat farming (CGF) in Odisha. Data were collected through personal interview from randomly selected 60 contract goat farmers and 30 contractors associated with these contract farmers. The perceived sustainability of the contract goat farming was calculated in terms of productivity, economic viability, risk involved, trustworthiness, equity and equality, autonomy and social and cultural adoptability. The study revealed that the mean score obtained for productivity, economic viability, risk involved, trustworthiness, equity and equality, autonomy, social and cultural adoptability was between 75-100 percent of the maximum score both in case of contract goat farmers and contractors. It implies that CGF have higher sustainability in terms of productivity, economic viability, risk involved, trustworthiness, equity and equality, autonomy, social and cultural adaptability and therefore it can be also recommended to landless and marginal farmers of other region.
