Rice-Fish Culture: Enhancing Rice Quality and Economic Benefits

Rice-fish culture is a composite agricultural technique that integrates rice cultivation with fish farming, effectively promoting ecological and economic benefits in agriculture. This model enhances rice quality and yield, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and increases biodiversity in farmlands. It also improves soil structure and fertility. Additionally, by introducing fish species that adapt to the paddy field environment, it not only increases the direct income from agricultural production but also reduces environmental pollution through decreased chemical use. Rice-fish culture further contributes to agricultural climate regulation by improving water quality and recycling resources, enhancing the carbon sequestration capacity of farmlands. To optimize and promote this model, technical training for farmers, along with policy support and marketing assistance, is essential to ensure its sustainable implementation and evaluation.
