What is it?
Integrated farming system
Integration of various agricultural enterprises viz., cropping, animal husbandry, fishery, forestry etc. have great potential in the agricultural economy. These enterprises not only supplement the income of the farmers but also help in increasing the family labour employment.

The integrated farming system approach introduces a change in the farming techniques for maximum production in the cropping pattern and takes care of optimal utilization of resources. |

The farm wastes are better recycled for productive purposes in the integrated system. |

A judicious mix of agricultural enterprises like dairy, poultry, piggery, fishery, sericulture etc. suited to the given agro-climatic conditions and socio-economic status of the farmers would bring prosperity in their farming. |
