Navrashtra: Fish Farming Alongside Agriculture: A New Economic Path for Vidarbha Farmers

Agricultural innovator Muzaffar Hussain has introduced an integrated farming model that combines traditional agriculture with aquaculture, offering farmers in drought-affected Vidarbha a new source of income and sustainability.

This approach, which blends crop cultivation with fish farming, maximizes land and water resources while ensuring year-round economic stability. Farmers are now producing vegetables, fruits, spices, and multiple crops alongside fish, creating a diverse and resilient farming ecosystem.

Hussain emphasizes that this integrated system improves soil fertility, biodiversity, and water conservation, while significantly reducing financial risks. By diversifying income sources, farmers are less dependent on unpredictable markets and climate conditions.

Through AsmitA Organic Farms, this model is being implemented and scaled, proving to be a game-changer for rural livelihoods in Vidarbha, while also serving as a replicable model for sustainable agriculture across India.
