Description
/li>
This primer is an edited and slightly revised version of a previously
published integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA) technology information
kit. It contains 38 contributions in seven sections, covering
sociocultural, economic and environmental considerations in introducing
IAA technologies, overviews and various examples of integrated farming
systems including livestock-fish and rice-fish integration, as well as
selected aspects of fish feeding and management, and fish breeding and
nursing in IAA. The document aims to give decision-makers concerned with
agriculture and rural development an overview and a basis for
understanding the principles of IAA and help them decide whether to embark
on IAA activities and include these in their programme portfolio. For
those who work directly with farmers, the primer aims at providing good
examples of IAA, but it is not intended to be a compilation of procedures
to be strictly followed. Rather, the primer should help convince its
readers/users that farmers can improve their livelihoods by either
introducing IAA or by further developing the many IAA opportunities on
their existing farms.
