This document provides information about an integrated farming systems course at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University. It defines integrated farming systems as combining agriculture with livestock, poultry and fish production on the same land. The objectives of integrated farming systems are efficient recycling of waste, maximizing nutrient use efficiency, and maintaining a sustainable production system. Some advantages are increased productivity, profitability, and sustainability while improving the environment, food supply, and livelihoods. The document lists various components that can be integrated such as crops, vegetables, dairy, poultry, fisheries, and suggests models appropriate for different regions of India.

2. Introduction
• In integrated farming system, agriculture is
integrated with livestock, poultry and fish.
• The whole setup is maintained at the same
place to generate employment and income.
• eg- livestock, raising pigs, and poultry, crop and
vegetable, fisheries, duckery, agroforestry etc.

3. Importance of IFS
• integrated farming system produce both crops
and animals on one farm.
• This farming system permits wider crop
rotations and thus reduces dependence on
chemicals, risk management.

4. Objective of IFS
• Efficient recycling of farm and animal wastes.
• Minimizing the nutrient losses.
• Maximizing nutrient use efficiency.
• Adopetion of efficient cropping system and crop
rotations.
• Complementary combination of farm
enterprises.
• Maintain sustainable production system
without damaging environment.
