Integrating agriculture with aquaculture can generate higher
productivity since two crops can be generated with the same
water. Integrated farms maximize returns through the use of
two or more production technologies (Dhawan and Sehdev,
1994). Integration results in more diversified farm products,
increases cash incomes, improves quality and quantity of farm
products, improves environmental soundness and increases
efficiency through the exploitation of otherwise unutilized
resources. The long-term performance of diversified farms is
better than non-diversified enterprises, because they are better
able to deal with market and climate changes (Kokic et al.,
1995). They are also less risky especially for resource-poor
farmers in developing countries (Lightfoot et al., 1993).
