Introduction

Integrated Farming System has emerged as a practical and sustainable approach for improving the livelihood of small and marginal farmers. In rural areas where farmers often depend on a single enterprise, income remains limited and uncertain. By combining different farm components such as fishery, piggery, crop production and horticulture, farmers can make better use of available land, labour and resources. The success of Shri Lalit Deka from Jhargaon village of Udalguri district is a good example of how scientific intervention and proper guidance can improve farm income and livelihood security. His journey shows that integrated farming is not only about increasing production but also about creating a stable source of income throughout the year.
