Abera Teshome Aleli

She term ‘integration’ is received from Latin «integrare» which meant to making complete through accumulation of portions, or to association shares into entire. The livestock farms can operate autonomously in definite farming systems and their yields merely added. The major goal of integrated Farming System is to cultivate conventional resource improvement and utilization performances that lead to considerable and continuous growth in agrarian manufacture. The major social and economic advantage of combined agricultural is that ingredients to the several different systems that encompasses subsystems leads to intra-farm through the reduction of dependence on single farm inputs. IFS reduce problems related to farming due to amplified variation of yield. combining different subsystems witin fishery if wisely selected, scheduled and implemented, can provide more profite particularly for small and marginal farmers. Each subsystem could stand alone but it has to be supported by any livestock component with biodigester for the use of manure as fertilizers. ‘Sustainable agriculture’ as a management system for renewable natural resources that provides food, income and livelihood for present and future economic productivity and ecosystem services of these resources.
