Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our discussion on resource recycling and energy flow in wetland farming systems. Wetlands play a vital role in sustainable agriculture by serving as natural filters and reservoirs. In these ecosystems, resource recycling is a dynamic process, where organic matter and nutrients are efficiently reused, promoting soil fertility. Additionally, wetlands contribute to energy flow by supporting diverse flora and fauna, creating a balanced ecosystem. Understanding these interconnected processes is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices, conserving water, and fostering resilience in the face of environmental challenges. Today, we explore the intricate dance of resources and energy in wetland farming for a more sustainable future. Here we try to focus in brief on this topic. hope you will found it useful.

4. INTRODUCTION :-
Wetlands are species-rich habitats performing
valuable ecosystem services such as flood
protection, water quality enhancement, food
chain support and carbon sequestration.
Worldwide, wetlands have been drained to
convert them into agricultural land or
industrial and urban areas.
• A realistic estimate is that 50 % of
the world's wetlands have been lost.
• From the early beginning of
agricultural activities, such riverine
wetlands have been recognized as
valuable land areas for food and fodder
production, because they have fertile
soils as a result of regular sediment 4

5. RESOURCE
RECYCLING
WHAT IS RESOURCE
RECYCLING?
Resource recycling in wetland farming refers to the practice of using natural
processes and ecosystem services in wetland areas to recycle nutrients and
organic matter, maintain soil fertility and productivity, and minimize
environmental impacts. Wetland ecosystems are highly productive and have
the ability to filter and retain nutrients, making them ideal for agricultural
activities that are designed to take advantage of these natural processes.
WHY RESOURCE RECYCLE IS
NEEDED FOR WETLAND FARMING
SYSTEM?
i. It allow farmers to maintain soil fertility
ii. It improve crop productivity
iii. It minimize negative environmental impacts
iv. Wetlands have the ability to filter and retain nutrients, which can
be recycled to maintain soil fertility and promote plant growth.
v. Resource recycling practices such as conservation tillage,
contour farming, and water management can help to maintain
healthy soil and reduce erosion.

6. ENERGY FLOW
WHAT IS ENERGY
FLOW?
Energy is constantly flowing into a system, such as a wetland, as radiant
energy from the sun. This energy is then transformed into the energy
needed to sustain life for organisms such as plants and animals.
This energy is used for life processes such as respiration,
photosynthesis, digestion, and reproduction.
WHY ENERGY FLOW IS NEEDED
FOR WETLAND FARMING
SYSTEM?
I. Wetland plants, such as rice and lotus, rely on photosynthesis to convert
sunlight into organic matter. This process requires energy from the sun,
which is captured and stored by the plants. The energy stored in plants
provides the foundation for the wetland ecosystem, supporting the growth
of herbivores and other organisms.
II. Energy flow supports a diverse range of organisms in wetland
ecosystems, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. This
diversity is important for maintaining ecosystem stability, resilience, and
productivity.
III. Energy flow in wetland ecosystems is important for maintaining soil
fertility, as it provides the nutrients needed for plant growth.

7. RESOURCE RECYCLE MODEL
• Recycling of farm resources reduces input costs, enables low
reliance on external inputs, improves quality of produce and
ultimately ensures farm sustainability under climate change
conditions.

9. ADVANTAGES
NUTRIENT CYCLING:-
Wetland farming systems can
effectively recycle nutrient from
organic waste such as crop
residues, animal manure and
waste water.
CLIMATE CHANGE
MITIGATION:-
The recycling of organic waste
in wetland farming systems
promotes the build-up of
organic carbon in the soil,
reducing carbon dioxide
emission
WATER MANAGEMENT:-
Wetlands help in water
retention and filtration,
reducing the need for
excessive irrigation in farming
systems
BIODIVERSITY
CONSERVATION:-
Wetlands are home to diverse
plant and animal species.
integrating resource recycling
in wetland farming systems can
help preserve and enhance
biodiversity 9

10. DISADVANTAGES
RISK OF NUTRIENT
IMBALANCE:-
Recycling nutrients can
enhance soil fertility, improper
nutrient management can lead
to excessive nitrogen and
phosphorus level
REGULATORY AND
POLICY CHALLENGES:-
Implementing resource cycling
practices in wetland farming
systems may involve
compliance with various
regulation and policies related
to water quality, land use and
conservation.
COMPLEX MANAGEMENT:-
Implementing resource
recycling in wetland farming
systems require careful
planning, monitoring,
management.
POTENTIAL FOR INVASIVE
SPECIES:-
The introduction of recycled
organic materials may
inadvertently introduce invasive
species or provide favourable
condition for their growth

11. Conclusion:-
resource recycling and energy flow are crucial components of a
sustainable wetland farming system. By implementing practices
such as crop rotation, composting, and water conservation, we
can reduce waste and improve soil health. This, in turn, leads to a
more efficient use of energy and resources, ultimately benefiting
both the environment and agricultural productivity.
