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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
