What is Integrated Farming?
Integrated farming is a sustainable agricultural method that combines crops, livestock, fish, and poultry on the same farm. It is especially effective in rural Bangladesh where farmers seek diversified income and efficient land use.
Key Benefits:
- Diversified Income: Crops, goats, fish, poultry—multiple sources from the same land.
- Better Resource Use: Cow dung used as fertilizer; poultry droppings for fish ponds.
- Low Cost, High Return: Resource recycling reduces expenses.
- Risk Reduction: Loss in one component can be covered by others.
Real Example:
A farmer combining rice cultivation with fish and ducks in one area earns 2–3 times more than monocrop farming.
Integrated farming is the future of agriculture in Bangladesh.
