Integrated Farming: a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Small and Marginal Farmers in Low Lands of Sundarbans
This paper tries to analyze adaptation strategies by small and marginal farmers having 0.1 acre of land in average (which were almost uncultivable due to water logging) by re-shaping of their farming land to make the land cultivable and to accommodate multiple subsystem (pond – rice field – vegetable garden), diversifying farming system with introduction of multiple components (fish-duck-azolla-rice-vegetable) with multistory arrangement hence diversifying the source of income and reducing dependency on a single crop, rainwater harvesting as a source of fresh water and proper crop selection.
