520 |a Agriculture is the most important primary activity of human beings. In India, a major share of the population depends on Agriculture for its livelihood. This paper attempts to have a brief study on the agricultural land use pattern, of the Alappuzha district in Kerala. The study reveals that in this district, the land use pattern has changed and the area of cultivable waste has increased in the period between 2000 and 2013. But, the Net Sown area has decreased and the area under the current fallow as well as the Fallow other than the current fallow also have decreased in the same period. It has also been identified that total cropped area has gone down. This shows that the farmers of this district are losing their interest in the existing cropping pattern and this study explains its causes and remedies.
