integrated farming system
Integrated farming systems (IFS) aim to create sustainable agricultural practices by integrating various farming activities to reduce waste and enhance resource use. The document outlines the benefits, objectives, and models of IFS, highlighting its potential to improve productivity, sustainability, and income while addressing challenges in modern agriculture, such as resource depletion and malnutrition. It emphasizes that integrating fish with agriculture and livestock can significantly enhance rural livelihoods and food security without harming the environment.

- 2. • Integrated Farming(IF) is a whole farm management system which aims to deliver more sustainable agriculture • Farming is process of harnessing solar energy in the form of economic plant and animal products. • System implies a set of practices and processes organized into functional entity. • It is based on concept that ‘there is no waste’ and ‘waste is only a misplaced resource.’ which become valuable material for another product. Introduction:
- 3. The IFS isdefined as the biologically integrated farming system which integrate natural resources regulation mechanisms into farming activities to achieve: • maximum replacement of off farm inputs • secure sustainable production of high quality food and other products through ecologically proffered technologies • sustain farm income • reduce sources of present environment pollutions generated by agriculture and sustains the multiple function of agriculture.
- 4. Problems of presentday agriculture 1) decline in factor productivity 2) Static or decline in food production 3) Increasing malnutrition 4) Shrinkage in net cultivable area 5) Increasing environmental pollution 6) Depleting ground water table 7) Increasing cost of production 8) Low farm income 9) Increasing unemployment 10)decline in agriculture growth rate
- 5. Primary goals ofIFS are • Maximization of yield of all component enterprises to provide steady and stable income. • Rejuvenation of systems productivity and achieve agro-ecological equilibrium. • Avoid build up of insect pests, diseases and weed population through natural cropping system and keep them at low level of intensity. • Reducing use of chemicals.
- 6. Objectives of integratedforming • Should be area specific, formulate models involving main and allied enterprises for different farming situations. • It should ensure optimal utilization and conservation of available resources with efficient recycling within each system included. • It should raise the net return of the farm household by complementing main activity with allied enterprises. • It should address the nutritional insecurity of resource poor farmers vulnerability and poverty of landless laborers.

Rice-fish-prawn culture: • Fishcultured in trench or canal dugs in paddy fields in low lying areas yielded 700kg/ha fish along with 5.5ton/ha of paddy. • There as greater potential for culture of air breathing fish in paddy fields as they can with stand low water and oxygen levels.

- 24. Advantages of IFS •Increased productivity through increased economic yield per unit area per time. • Improved profitability achieved due to recycling of waste of enterprise as energy inputs for other system. • Greater sustainability in production. • Integration of different production systems.(solve malnutrition)
- 25. Constraints:- • Nutritional valuesof crop residues are generally low in digestibility and protein content. physical and chemical treatment of these residues is technically possible. Expensive to poor farmers. • Crop residues are primarily soil regenerators. • Intensive recycling can cause nutrient losses. • Farmers prefer use of chemical fertilizer instead of manure because it acts faster and easy to apply. • Resource investments are required to improve intake and digestibility of crop residues.
- 26. Conclusion:- • The integrationof fish with livestock and agriculture needs to be viewed because this activity can go long way in the uplift of rural life through manifold increase in return on investment. • Integrated farming system seems to be the answer to the problems of increasing food production, for increasing income and for improving nutrition of the small scale farmers with limited resources without any adverse effect on environment and agro- eco- system.
