3. What is integrated farming system(IFS):-
Integrated farming is defined as a biologically integrated system,
which integrates natural resources in a regulated mechanism
into farming activities to achieve maximum replacement of off-
farm inputs and sustain farm income.
Why is integrated farming required:-Most of the articles talks
about the low productivity in the agricultural sector as a major challenge
factors like an uncertain monsoon, poor fertility of the land, poor quality
seeds and raw inputs for the farming (Verma et al., 2019). In a way,
Agripreneures can improve productivity but still, people have the fact in mind
that agriculture is not profitable as the productivity is poor which make people
to shift from agriculture rather than thinking how to increase productivity.
These entrepreneurs can only be successful if the farmers keep doing farming
and produce in a good quantity and quality for these agri-businesses to develop.

4. It is a challenge to double the income of the farmers
and to have a year-round income. Today we stand on
a model from which this challenge can be realized. It is
an integrated farming system in which many units of
agriculture are threaded together. So that there is
good income throughout the year in less space. This
integrated agricultural system is spread over 1.5 acres
for our convenience. But you can do more or less
according to the land as per your convenience, but it is
necessary to have a pond in it, because you can
operate this model around the pond itself. Or you can
have dairy based, poultry based, goat rearing
based,horticultural based ,vermi compost based , as
per your convenience.
