Abstract:
Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) involve combining multiple agricultural practices to maximize resource utilization, sustainability, and income generation. In the context of sericulture, several IFS options have emerged, linking silk production with livestock, horticulture, agriculture, forestry, artisans, poultry, fungi, and apiculture. These integrated approaches leverage the symbiotic relationships between sericulture and allied enterprises, promoting waste utilization, nutrient recycling, and multiple income streams for farmers. This chapter presents an overview of different IFS options in sericulture, emphasizing their benefits in terms of improved soil fertility, enhanced crop yields, additional income, and sustainable farming practices. The integration of sericulture with diverse agricultural activities opens new avenues for entrepreneurs, supports rural livelihoods, and contributes to environmental conservation.
