Integrated Rice-Fish Farming | HD4A Innovations

Описание: Dr. Elliot Dossou-Yovo from the Africa Rice Centre, a key partner of the HD4A project, introduces an innovative mixed cropping system being tested in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire: integrated rice-fish farming.

This groundbreaking method combines rice and fish cultivation in the same field, resulting in increased yields and improved quality of both crops. By allowing fish to eat weeds and pests, the system reduces the need for pesticides, minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, fish waste acts as a natural fertilizer, enriching the soil and boosting rice growth. Beyond these agricultural benefits, the method also enhances food security by providing an extra source of protein for households.

Watch now to see how this innovation is transforming farming practices and helping farmers overcome critical challenges.
