Integrated farming as economically and environmentally viable venture

Ghanaian agricultural researchers are encouraging integrated farming as an economically and environmentally sound activity in food production and income generation.

The integration of fish farming with livestock and crops production, including vegetable farming has been described as an all-round agriculture venture.

The Crops Research Institute (CRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) believes diversification of production is highly productive and efficient in managing risks imposed by the environment and climate change.

The Institute’s project field is exposing the public to opportunities to earn sustainable livelihoods from integrated farming whilst contributing to environmental protection.
