Paddy and Fish Mixed Farming

Paddy-Fish Mixed Farming

In the south Asian countries and many other countries of the world rice that means paddy is the main food of the people. On the other hand fish is a very testy and nutritious food. About all the people around the world like fish. The rapidly increasing population has increased the demand of both paddy and fish. But the amount of cultivable land is not increasing, actually it is decreasing day by day. It is happening for building up new houses, mills, industries and other such institutions. As a result very quickly the shortage of food is noticed by the people. Then, they starts to produce more food by using the existing land. Thus they innovate the concept of mixed farming. They cultivate paddy and fish in the same field. In this system a pond is dug at one side of the land and the other side is used for paddy. In the rainy season the paddy field remains under watter. Fishes of the pond can easily move over the surface watter of the paddy field. So, a large amount of fish is produced from a very small piece of land and the land for paddy cultivation is increased.
