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 ...
Value chain transformation: Taking stock of WorldFish research on value chains and markets
Type: Working Paper
The goal of WorldFish's research on markets and value chains is to increase the benefits to resource-poor people from fisheries and aquaculture value chains by researching (1) key barriers to resource-poor men, women and ...
Towards quantification of ecological sustainability in farming systems analysis
Type: Journal Article
A tentative list of ecological attributes; diversity, cycling, stability and capacity, is proposed for quantification and ranking of farming systems along a hypothetical scale of increasing ecological sustainability. The ...
Sustainability indicators from farm to watershed: a synthesis of issues
Type: Book Chapter
Concept of sustainability in relation to agricultural systems is discussed.
