| Abstract: | Integrated Fish Farming (IFF) is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach that combines fish farming with other agricultural practices, such as poultry farming, mushroom, livestock rearing, crop production and other systems that are mutually supportive. Sequential linkages between different farming activities are established in such a way that the waste from one biological system serves as nutrients for another biological system. Such integration thus ensures optimum utilization of available resources and results in maximum and diversified farm output making IFF a profitable venture. To make farming activities economically viable and ecologically sustainable, several multi-enterprise IFF models relevant to small and marginal hill farmers were developed and evaluated on farmers’ fields over the last two decades. Exotic fish; silver carp, grass carp and common carp were stocked at 45:35:25 into the pond, due to their known compatibility with each other, faster growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Chick birds of a dual-purpose hybrid Kuroiler, a hardy breed of chicken raised for both egg and meat were stocked. Small scale IFF models created in hill region enables the agricultural production system productive, profitable and sustainable. Nutritional requirement of the system is self- sustained through resource recycling. Besides year round employment and substantial monetary gain, the farmer’s family got fresh vegetables and good quality animal protein, which has improved nutritional status of the household. Various IFF models evaluated during last two decades clearly indicated that IFF approach holds high promise as an instrument to provide food security, nutritional benefits, employment and income generation to resource poor farmers. Moreover, The IFF technology compliments cropping activities of small farmers, diversifies farming activities and generate employment and income, thus leading to enhanced nutrition, social and economic uplift of the society.In this paper,current agricultural situation in Uttarakhand hills, IFF technology and its potential to sustain agriculture in hills, constraints in adopting the technology and future thrust is discussed |
