Integrated Grass-Fish Farming

Integrated grass-fish farming is a system that combines aquatic farming with terrestrial crop cultivation, typically involving the farming of grass carp along with crops such as rice or vegetables. In this system, grass carp help manage weeds and algae by grazing, reducing the need for chemical treatments. The waste produced by the fish also serves as natural fertilizer for crops, creating a symbiotic relationship between the two farming components. This method enhances sustainability by reducing input costs, improving resource use efficiency, and increasing overall farm productivity. Integrated grass-fish farming also provides a diversified income for farmers, promoting ecological balance and long-term sustainability.
