IFS is a mixed farming system consisting of at least two separate but equally dependent parts of plant and animal business. . IFS helps improve soil health, kill weeds and pests, increase water efficiency and maintain water quality. In an integrated agriculture program, the use of hazardous chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides should be minimized and should ensure the protection of the environment from adverse effects. The integrated agriculture program improves the economic situation of small farmers, improves education, health and social obligations and improves livelihood security. IFS approaches the use of chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides), it can be limited to providing healthy non-chemical foods in the community.
