Integrated farming

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong forum to post, but I can't see which other one it would fit in.

Anyways, I thought this might be of interest to others since in my first post on this site i mentioned about integrated farming and discusses rice and aquaculture. I was on a webinar about 5 hours ago about US seafood plans and they din't quite get into integrated farming, but just a VERY brief mention of species. I have read about successful small scale projects in northeastern india (I have not been except to the airport for a friend's wedding ) with duck and fish. This one is in 'Nam with shrimp and rice. https://thefishsite.com/articles/future-proofing-rice-and-shrimp-farms-in-the-mekong-delta

It sounds very promising and inexpensive to start (depending on the land you may already have). https://www.agriterra.org/rice-shrimps-farming/

Thank you for sharing the idea behind integrated farming.

as a farming system where high-quality organic food, animal feed, fiber, and renewable energy are produced by using resources such as soil, water, air, and nature as well as regulating factors to farm sustainably and with as few polluting inputs as possible

I hope by bumping your thread there will be some interest in this concept and your ideas.

Hi Anne:

The wiki article doesn't seem to be mention livestock.

For example, in india's northeast they have small-scale commercially viable duck and fish. It is a good stepping stone to possible expansion thereof.

Apparently more than I was aware of. https://vikaspedia.in/agriculture/fisheries/fish-production/culture-fisheries/types-of-aquaculture/integrated-farming-systems-in-assam

Maybe by definition animals are not included as part of farming?

They should be, no? My land is not very arable regular sustainable crops from the ground.

How do you upload images now?
