Integrated farming systems (IFS) comprising of many agricultural components reveal the potential to boost production, maximize profitability, promote sustainability, and develop resilience to address multifaceted issues including food security and climate change. This approach employs livestock to manage invertebrate pests that affect crops, cultivates fodder crops for animal nutrition, and applies animal waste on fields to enhance soil nutrients for crops. The synergistic interactions among different farming components improves resource-use-efficiency (RUE) and recycles of agricultural by-products within the system. In a nutshell, this article clearly demonstrates that integrated farming systems significantly contribute to sustainable development. However, a number of obstacles prevent the widespread adoption of integrated farming systems. These include difficulties in finding suitable markets to dispose small-scale production from various enterprises, lack of improved livestock breeds, restricted access to credit support, high initial investment, and lack of information and direction. To ensure successful implementation of IFS, governmental support through subsidies and credits is essential to promote capital investments and infrastructural development. Additionally, technical interventions, extension services, capacity building, improved resources, high quality feed, market access, and proper health care services for animal husbandry should be prioritized as well.
