Abstract

Abstract The exponential increase in population and economic activities has led to the intensification of agriculture and aquaculture in developing countries. The Green Revolution in the 1960s and Blue Revolution in the 1980s were giant steps in this direction to meet the food demand of the burgeoning population. It resulted in the increased use of modern technology for the intensification of agriculture and aquaculture in India. However, coping with the ever-increasing demand for food has adversely impacted our environment. Hence, it is imperative that we explore sustainable practices that enable us to produce more food without compromising environmental integrity and human health. Integrated rice-fish farming is one such solution that optimizes use of resources, maintains sustainable environmental conditions and provides socio-economic stability to the farmers. This review summarizes the various integrated rice-fish cultivation systems practiced in India including traditional practices, their importance, recent development in this area and the existing challenges.

印度通过稻鱼综合养殖实现可持续粮食生产:简要回顾

人口和经济活动的指数级增长导致发展中国家农业和水产养殖的集约化。20世纪60年代的绿色革命和80年代的蓝色革命是朝着这个方向迈出的巨大一步，以满足不断增长的人口的粮食需求。这导致印度越来越多地使用现代技术来加强农业和水产养殖。然而，应对日益增长的粮食需求对我们的环境产生了不利影响。因此，我们必须探索可持续的做法，使我们能够在不损害环境完整性和人类健康的情况下生产更多的粮食。稻鱼一体化养殖就是这样一种解决方案，它可以优化资源利用，保持可持续的环境条件，并为农民提供社会经济稳定。这篇综述总结了印度实施的各种综合稻鱼养殖系统，包括传统做法、它们的重要性、该领域的最新发展以及现有的挑战。

期刊介绍： Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems (formerly American Journal of Alternative Agriculture) is a multi-disciplinary journal which focuses on the science that underpins economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable approaches to agriculture and food production. The journal publishes original research and review articles on the economic, ecological, and environmental impacts of agriculture; the effective use of renewable resources and biodiversity in agro-ecosystems; and the technological and sociological implications of sustainable food systems. It also contains a discussion forum, which presents lively discussions on new and provocative topics.
