Abstract

Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) have gained prominence as a holistic approach to address the challenges of sustainability and productivity in modern agriculture. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted aspects of IFS, elucidating its principles, benefits, and challenges. It examines the synergistic integration of crop, livestock, and aquaculture components within the farming system to maximize resource utilization, improve resilience, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Through a critical analysis of current research and case studies, this review highlights the socio-economic and environmental advantages of adopting IFS. Furthermore, it discusses the various subcomponents, management strategies, and technological advancements that contribute to the success of IFS. By outlining the key factors driving the adoption of IFS and its potential to revolutionize agriculture, this review provides valuable insights into the future of sustainable and productive farming systems.
