Abstract

The integrated farming system (IFS) is a holistic farming approach specially designed for small/marginal farmers to enhance the system productivity, profitability, and employment generation of their farm, ultimately ensuring their food and nutrition security for their livelihood. The mechanism of IFS offers various ecosystem services making farms environment-friendly, sustainable, and climate-resilient. IFS is characterized by the allocation of different agricultural components systematically in a single farm performing synergistically among themselves making the farm more productive, healthy, biodiversity enriched, and eco-friendly than simplified farms. Therefore, this review paper represents an extensive analysis of existing literature on IFS exploring its concept, components, and need, and emphasizing its potential for higher system productivity, profitability, and employment generation in a sustainable manner. Moreover, it develops a conceptualization of the relationship among different agricultural components in a single farm exploring its role in ecosystem services (reducing greenhouse gases, carbon sequestration, nutrient recycling, improving soil health, and biodiversity conservation).

在气候不断变化的现代，综合耕作制度是实现农业食品系统可持续性的一种环境友好型和具有成本效益的方法：全面回顾

综合耕作系统（IFS）是一种专门为小型/边缘农户设计的整体耕作方法，旨在提高其农场的系统生产力、盈利能力和创造就业机会，最终确保其生计所需的粮食和营养安全。综合农作法的机制提供了各种生态系统服务，使农场成为环境友好型、可持续发展型和气候适应型农场。综合农作战略的特点是在一个农场中系统地分配不同的农业组成部分，这些组成部分之间发挥协同作用，使农场比简化的农场更具生产力、更健康、生物多样性更丰富、更生态友好。因此，本综述文件对有关综合农作系统的现有文献进行了广泛分析，探讨了综合农作系统的概念、组成部分和需求，并强调了综合农作系统以可持续的方式提高系统生产力、盈利能力和创造就业机会的潜力。此外，本文还对单一农场中不同农业组成部分之间的关系进行了概念化，探讨了其在生态系统服务（减少温室气体、碳固存、养分循环、改善土壤健康和生物多样性保护）中的作用。

期刊介绍： Food and Energy Security seeks to publish high quality and high impact original research on agricultural crop and forest productivity to improve food and energy security. It actively seeks submissions from emerging countries with expanding agricultural research communities. Papers from China, other parts of Asia, India and South America are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board, headed by Editor-in-Chief Professor Martin Parry, is determined to make FES the leading publication in its sector and will be aiming for a top-ranking impact factor. Primary research articles should report hypothesis driven investigations that provide new insights into mechanisms and processes that determine productivity and properties for exploitation. Review articles are welcome but they must be critical in approach and provide particularly novel and far reaching insights. Food and Energy Security offers authors a forum for the discussion of the most important advances in this field and promotes an integrative approach of scientific disciplines. Papers must contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge. Examples of areas covered in Food and Energy Security include: • Agronomy • Biotechnological Approaches • Breeding & Genetics • Climate Change • Quality and Composition • Food Crops and Bioenergy Feedstocks • Developmental, Physiology and Biochemistry • Functional Genomics • Molecular Biology • Pest and Disease Management • Post Harvest Biology • Soil Science • Systems Biology
