INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEMS TO ENHANCE PLANT AND ANIMAL PRODUCTION
Abstract
Agriculture sector has a major role in food security worldwide, through its contribution to the production and availability of highly nutritious and safe foods such as meats, eggs, milk and vegetables. In recent years, global warming crises became a serious worldwide issue since it adversely affects human health. One of the solutions to this serious problem is to establish integrated farming system (IFS). This is because the integrated farming system use natural resources efficiently, reduce problem of waste, minimize the need of transporting material from and to the farm and helps in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission. The importance of the project lies in the development of techniques to support plant and animal production using integrated farming system approach. Considering national needs for healthy and safe food, animal and plant production are of high priority in Kuwait to provide consumers with healthy food with pollution free environment by recycling of farm residues through the integrated farming system. The current paper sheds light on the efforts done in Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research to establish of a specialized center to develop integrated farming systems to enhance plant and animal production, and to ensure the local food security for consumers in need.
