ABSTRACT
In an integrated farming operation, the wastes from different farming activities are recycled into other enterprises, thus raising overall economic and ecological efficiency. Aquaculture has often played an important role in the development and functioning of integrated farming systems for smallholders. This is due to farm ponds’ particularly effective role in processing waste materials without creating some of the problems that can be associated with mulches and green manures, such as weeds or insect pests.
