Abstract

PurposeRice agroecosystems must grow sustainably to meet the increasing demand for food. A fish-rice co-culture was introduced to conserve rice agroecosystems in farming communities. This study aims to assess the technical, socio-economic and environmental outcomes as the pillars of sustainability.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach to assess a sustainable intensification programme's impact on sustainability. Data were collected using group discussions and self-assessment surveys. The study sites cover East Java and West Java provinces.FindingsThis study found that rice-fish co-culture improved the sustainability of the farming system. Farmers applied pest and disease management and partially substituted inorganic fertilisers with organic ones. The outcomes were apparent in the diversity of harvested products. Economically, the rice yield increased, the production costs decreased and the resultant increased income. Environmentally, the fish-rice co-culture was sound because of ecological inputs. The population of natural enemies of pests increased. Socially, fish-rice co-culture was acceptable to the community since there was no conflict with the local governments, local norms and religions and the existing farming practices of other crops.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was based on five groups as case studies, such that the result might not represent the general condition.Originality/valueThe study's methodology was supported by valid economic theories and data directly gathered from farmers.

印度尼西亚爪哇岛鱼类和水稻联合养殖的可持续集约化做法:技术、社会经济和环境特征
目的水稻农业生态系统必须可持续发展,以满足日益增长的粮食需求。为了保护农业社区的水稻农业生态系统,引入了鱼类-水稻联合养殖。本研究旨在评估作为可持续性支柱的技术、社会经济和环境成果。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定性-定量混合方法来评估可持续强化计划对可持续性的影响。数据是通过小组讨论和自我评估调查收集的。研究地点包括东爪哇省和西爪哇省。研究发现,稻鱼共育提高了农业系统的可持续性。农民采用病虫害管理,并用有机肥料部分取代无机肥料。收获产品的多样性是显而易见的结果。在经济上,水稻产量增加,生产成本降低,从而增加了收入。在环境方面,由于生态投入,鱼米联合养殖是健全的。害虫天敌数量增加。在社会上,鱼类和水稻的共同养殖是社区可以接受的,因为与地方政府、地方规范和宗教以及其他作物的现有耕作做法没有冲突。研究局限性/含义本研究基于五组作为案例研究,因此结果可能不代表一般情况。原创性/价值该研究的方法得到了有效的经济理论和直接从农民那里收集的数据的支持。
