Agricultural Systems and Practices
Description: This cluster of papers explores the ecological mechanisms and sustainability of integrated rice-fish farming systems, focusing on agricultural heritage systems in China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. It investigates the benefits of co-cultivating rice and fish, including improved resource utilization, enhanced food security, and conservation of wetland ecosystem services. The research also addresses challenges such as pesticide use, nitrogen loss, and adoption barriers faced by smallholders.
