The survey was conducted (2018-2019) to identify the consequences and awareness among the farmer for using non-conventional approach towards Rice -Fish farming system so as to naturally balance our ecosystem in order to get varied benefits.
Rice growing village area Goradih block, Bhagalpur district (Bihar, India) was selected for survey. During the survey (2018-2019) it was observed that whenever water is stagnated within bunds as for rice growing, fish which naturally occur in the irrigation water and water tanks enters the paddy fields and grow there until harvest along with Paddy. But this happens naturally and none of the farmers in this region were aware of this nor do they take interest in harvesting fish as crop. Survey data conclude that the farmers mostly adapt rice as monoculture (93.3%) and use of nonconventional methods along with some chemical pesticide (53.3%) due to which causes ill effect on fingerlings. Rice monoculture cannot alone provide a sustainable food supply while rice fish farming is the best in terms of resources utilisation, productivity and food supply. However number of significant challenges exist for the adaptation of rice fish farming particularly the lack of technical knowledge of farmers. Thus it is necessary to provide technical support and training facilities for sustainable rice farming.
So attempts was been made to explore the potentiality of organic rice fish farming from seasonally water logged areas for overall improvement of water and to draw attention for strong Government support to it in the form of subsidies and research. By this means of farming no pesticides, fungicides or any sort of chemicals are used. Rice Fish farming is a duo culture farming system in which rice is sole enterprise and fishes are taken to initiate an additional extra income in form of animal protein.
