The correct answer is: a) Agriculture & Animal Husbandry.
Kerala’s ‘Integrated Farming System’ promotes a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry. This system is based on the principle of using the waste products of one sector to benefit the other. For example, the manure from animals can be used to fertilize crops, and the waste products from crops can be used to feed animals. This system helps to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and it also helps to improve the efficiency of resource use.
Option b) Aquaculture & Agriculture is incorrect because aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, shrimp, and oysters. This is not a part of Kerala’s ‘Integrated Farming System’.
Option c) Animal Husbandry & Forestry is incorrect because forestry is the management of forests for the production of timber, fuelwood, and other forest products. This is not a part of Kerala’s ‘Integrated Farming System’.
Option d) Agriculture & Horticulture is incorrect because horticulture is the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. This is not a part of Kerala’s ‘Integrated Farming System’.
