Abstract
The increase in population and economic activity has resulted in more intensive agricultural, animal husbandry, and aquaculture techniques in emerging countries. Many historic revolutions were launched in response to the growing demand for food, including the Green Revolution in the 1960s, the Pink Revolution in 1964, and the Blue Revolution in 1984. However, the limitations posed by rice monoculture and traditional aquaculture have spurred the development of integrated rice-fish farming methods. This innovative approach not only boosts productivity and dietary variety but also acts as a sustainable source of income, driving economic advancement for farmers and the nation. Integrated rice-fish farming emerges as a pivotal transition, meeting food demands while ensuring ecological sustainability amidst population growth and economic activities. In the context of integrated fish-livestock farming, the utilization of cost-effective fish feed and organic manures derived from livestock waste substantially reduces expenses linked to fish feed and chemical fertilizers. This highlights the economic efficiency of the integrated farming system, which delivers high yields at minimal costs. Incorporating organic manures alongside organic pest control in rice cultivation exemplifies a sustainable approach, resulting in increased crop productivity and enhanced soil fertility.
