Integration of fish culture and poultry rearing in transplanted rice for nutritional security in smallholder farms

Agriculture provides livelihood for 65% of Nepal’s population contributing for 27% of its GDP. Smallholder farms constitute 60% of farming segment. Distress farming, with inadequate minimum support price, subsidies and inadequate revenue generation force 29% of the general population to be malnouris...

description Agriculture provides livelihood for 65% of Nepal’s population contributing for 27% of its GDP. Smallholder farms constitute 60% of farming segment. Distress farming, with inadequate minimum support price, subsidies and inadequate revenue generation force 29% of the general population to be malnourished. Farming system designs with integration of animal components would augment animal protein intake of these resource-poor populations, livelihood enhancement and sustainability of production system. On-farm field experiments in 75 participating farmers fields of Nepal with integration of fish culture and poultry rearing in transplanted rice showed appreciable (a significant) increase in nutritional status and livelihoods of participating farmers.
