Fish and rice is the major crops and staple food of Assam a North eastern states of India. About 75 of the state population is directly or indirectly dependent on agricultural activities. In Assam, paddy fish integration is mostly practiced in flooded river basins, unmanageable vast waterlogged areas, and perennial waterlogged wet paddy land. Over the years, the practice has evolved with recognition of its multi ecological benefits. Considering recent climate change scenarios in Assam, paddy cum fish farming has emerged as a climate resilient practice and important adaptation strategy against climate induced flood.
