The Integrated Farming System Model: A Holistic Approach to Sustainable Agriculture

• High ground: Residential area, biogas, poultry, and goat shed (dry area).
• Mid ground: Crop fields (receive slurry/nutrients).
• Low ground: Fish pond (collects all runoff).
• Boundaries: Fruit trees and fodder grasses (stabilize soil, provide shade).
• Vertical stacking: Trellised vegetables (bitter gourd, grapes) over fish ponds.

: Fish can be reared in ponds that use livestock waste for plankton growth. The nutrient-rich pond water is then used to irrigate crops. Agroforestry & Boundary Plantation integrated farming system model
