Flow modelling with ECOPATH: providing insights on the ecological state of agroecosystems
Type: Book Chapter
This paper summarizes the major findings in modelling and analysing agroecosystems using ECOPATH.
Aquaculture and sustainability through integrated resources management
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture In developing countries can improve the sustainability of small-scale farms provided that It is fully integrated with other enterprises and household activities so as to allow farm families and communities to ...
Tracking nutrient flows in a multi-enterprise farming systems with a mass-balance model (ECOPATH)
Type: Book Chapter
Whether grown for sale or for on-farm consumption, vegetables and other crops are often managed as stand-alone, monoculture enterprises. Integrated farming can help improve the nutrient output-input balance sheet and ...
Farmer participatory procedures for managing and monitoring sustainable farming systems
Type: Journal Article
This paper aims to devise a farmer participatory method that not only improves farmer management of natural resources, but also monitors the impact of improvements. This assessment is made in terms of: economic efficiency, ...
Integrated rice-prawn farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: a route towards sustainable and profitable farming systems?
Type: Journal Article
Economic analysis and performance of the integrated rice-prawn farming systems in the Mekong Delta (Vietnam) are reviewed, including the problems and constraints of this integrated system technology.
Modeling and analyzing the agroecological performance of farms with ECOPATH
Type: Report
Intensive and integrated resource management, where field crops, vegetables, trees, livestock and fish production are combined through efficient reuse of wastes, residues, by-products and external inputs, offers a potential ...
Integrated smallholder agriculture aquaculture in Asia: optimizing trophic flows
Type: Book Chapter
A nutrient modelling approach was applied to show how the combination of crops, trees, livestock, and fish, that is, integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA), helps in optimizing trophic flows in Asian rice-based agroecosystems. ...
Tracking nutrient flows in a multi-enterprise farming systems with a mass-balance model (ECOPATH)
Type: Book Chapter
Whether grown for sale or for on-farm consumption, vegetables and other crops are often managed as stand-alone, monoculture enterprises. Integrated farming can help improve the nutrient output-input balance sheet and ...
Applying systems ecology to the analysis of integrated agriculture-aquaculture farms
Type: Journal Article
The article suggests a preliminary list of properties as a point of departure for quantifying various ecological facets of the integrated agriculture-aquaculture farms.
A quantitative approach for assessing the productive performance and ecological contributions of smallholder farms
Type: Journal Article
A pragmatic framework for monitoring, modelling, analysing, and comparing the state and performance of integrated agroecosystems is proposed. Four smallholder rice farms (1.36€“2.76 hectares) €” including monoculture rice ...
