West Godavari district in Andhra Pradesh, known as the "Rice Bowl of India “produces nearly half of
the state’s rice, making it a key region for India’s food security. Alongside rice, it also hosts the
country’s most commercially productive freshwater aquaculture, primarily focused on Indian major
carps like Rohu and Catla. Under the Andhra Pradesh Community Managed Natural Farming
(APCNF) program, efforts were initiated to transition from rice monoculture (RM) to a more integrated
and ecologically beneficial model Integrated Rice-Fish Farming (IRFF). This involves co-cultivation of
rice and fish using natural farming practices, with a focus on local rice varieties and species like Rohu,
Catla, and Mola.
