Benefits of Rice-Fish Farming System by Tanujit Saha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Rice-fish farming is an agricultural system that grows rice and raises fish in the same flooded paddies. It offers environmental, economic, and social advantages over rice monoculture. The system reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 34.6% by increasing soil oxygen levels. It also improves soil fertility, lowers costs, and increases farmer incomes. While India has 20 million hectares suitable for rice-fish, it currently uses this system on just 0.23 million hectares. Expanded adoption could boost productivity
