An integrated farming system is a
sustainable agricultural system. That integrates livestock, crop
production, fish, poultry, and trees. Crops, plantation crops, and other
systems that benefit each other. It is
based on 'there is no waste' and 'waste.
Integrated farming is a
sustainable agricultural system combining different farming types, such as
livestock, crops, and fisheries, to increase productivity and reduce waste.
How it works
Recycling
Integrated farming uses waste from
one part of the farm as an input for another part. For example, manure
from livestock can be used to fertilize crops.
Crop rotation
Integrated farming uses long and
varied crop rotations to improve soil quality and reduce pests and diseases.
Soil conservation
Integrated farming uses
environment-friendly management systems to conserve soil.
Pollution control
Integrated farming uses pollution
control and by-product management to protect water, energy, biodiversity, and
soil.
Benefits
Increased productivity: Integrated
farming can increase productivity per unit area.
Reduced waste: Integrated
farming can reduce the amount of waste produced.
Reduced chemical use: Integrated
farming can reduce the amount of chemicals used.
Improved soil health: Integrated
farming can enhance the quality of soil and health.
Increased profitability: Integrated
farming can increase profitability, especially for small farmers.
Examples
Piggery, Poultry, Duckery,
Fishery, Plantation crops, Apiary, Mushroom cultivation, Vermicomposting, and
Fruit cultivation.
