The average holding of a farm in India has been declining and over 80 out of 105 million operational holdings are now below the size of 1.00 ha. Conventional farming is risky and farmers are reluctant to invest heavily in crop production. With increasing pressure from the burgeoning human population, only vertical expansion is possible by integrating appropriate farming components requiring lesser space and time and ensuring periodic income to the farmer. India constitutes more than 85 per cent of the farming community who especially belong to small and marginal farming community. Majority are illiterate, financially handicapped, their holdings are small and scattered, resource poor and frequently posed to diverse risk conditions. Integrated farming system (IFS) is considered as one of the best option towards intensification of small holder farm income to ensure sustainable livelihood. Integration of resources is made through a combination of land, water and animal resources of a farm through careful planning including recycling of bio-resources (Dash et al., 2015).
