Mixed Farming

Mixed farming is an agricultural system that combines crop and livestock production in one operation. It is often practiced in areas where land and other resources are limited and of relatively low quality, and is used to increase the overall efficiency of agricultural production. Mixed farming enables farmers to manage risk more effectively, make more use of land, labour and capital, and increase their income. It also has the potential to increase the sustainability of agricultural systems and reduce environmental impacts. Mixed farming is increasingly being recognised as an important agricultural system on the global scale and is being implemented in many countries around the world.
