In Indian context, integrated farming systems approach is considered to be the most powerful tool for enhancing profitability of farm households, especially for small and marginal farm-holders a presently constituting about 86 per cent of total farmers a to make them sustainable. With unabated shrinkage of land-holding size, income from cropping activity alone is becoming hardly sufficient to sustain these farm-familiesa needs. Therefore, farmersa income and food requirements would have to be augmented and supplemented by adoption of efficient secondary/ tertiary enterprises like animal husbandry, horticulture (vegetables/ fruits/ flowers/ medicinal and aromatic plants), apiary, mushroom cultivation, fisheries etc. However, these integrated farming systems will be required to be developed in such a manner that they lead to substantial improvement in energy efficiencies at the farm and help in maximum exploitation of synergies. These systems also need to be socially acceptable, environment friendly and economically viable. Research efforts put forth by the scientists in the past, cutting across the disciplines, regions and resources have been scanty but they have proved that properly planned farming systems can substantially enhance the farm-productivity, -profitability, and environmental safety in a sustainable manner.
