In most developing countries, agriculture has grown from merely an art to a science, but it does not yet maximize its business potential. In these countries, subsistence farming dominates, and farmers face the increasing impact of climate change and natural disasters. An integrated farming system (IFS) model yields minimum risk and maximum environmental benefit. The latest cutting-edge technologies applicable to each component of IFS and the science behind an agro-ecological approach are discussed at length in this book, which takes a holistic approach towards sustainable agricultural production technologies that result in maximum profit for the farming community. Also, it considers practices that care for natural resource bases and leave behind minimal environmental footprints. To keep prepared for climate change and natural disasters, appropriate contingency measures to tackle these unwanted situations are detailed.The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:Modern technologies, new concepts and innovations such as 3D farming, Integrated System of Rice Intensification (ISRI), hydroponics, rooftop farming and water budgeting.The use of IT for supporting IFS and environmental aspects related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.Information on organic farming covering all its aspects, present situation, market-related issues and future options.In-situ input generation procedures that are integral to recycling and their effective reuse.Region-specific IFS models based on soil, climate and farmers' requirements for different agroclimatic situations.IFS management aspects including water harvesting, conservation, increased productivity and drainageLatest information on the socio-economic factors, impacts, government orientations, policy framework towards agriculture and environmental aspects, and the future road map to make IFS a success.This book will serve as a handy reference for academics, researchers, students, progressive farmers and policymakers aiming to make agriculture more resilient, sustainable and eco-friendly.
