Integrated farming system approaches to achieve food and nutritional security for enhancing profitability, employment, and climate resilience in India

Venkatesh Paramesh et al.

Summary: Integrated farming systems (IFS) are a comprehensive agricultural approach that combines different activities such as crop cultivation and animal husbandry to enhance farm productivity and adaptability. This system caters to the needs of small and marginal farmers, and has the potential to improve farm profitability and employment opportunities. IFS promote nutrient recycling, improve soil quality, and contribute to biodiversity conservation. However, the adoption of IFS requires skills, knowledge, resources, and capital, which may pose challenges for small farmers.
