Objective. The objectives of the study were to describe the concept of the integrated farming system, the importance of integrated farming system development, and the integrated farming system of crop and livestock. The results showed Integrated farming system is a farming system that combines two or more fields of agriculture, which is based on the recycling biological concept, and linked of input-output between the mutually commodities which approach of low external input utilization, which is done on the land, through the utilization of crop waste, animal manure, fish waste for the purpose of increasing the production and productivity so as to increase farmer income and can create condition that are environmentally friendly farming. The development of the integrated farming system is very important, because the integrated farming system has many usages and advantages and benefits in line with the objectives of the regional development that to improve the social welfare.
1. Introduction Food security is one of the strategic issues in the context of developing countries. To support the food security program in the future, then each region is required to optimize the utilization of the land resources in order to further sustainability of production is maintained. Food security that aims at an active and healthy life of people should be designed as multi-sector incorporation and multidisciplinary thoughts, which then relates to sustainable agriculture development. Development is a process of change from a less than good condition toward a better condition which lasted consciously, planned and sustainable in order to increase the welfare of the community life of a nation. Development must be interpreted as a multidimensional process involving major changes to both the structure of the economy, social change, reduce or eliminate poverty, reduce inequality and unemployment in the context of economic growth. To build the agricultural sector there are five basic requirements that must be met, 1) The market for agricultural products 2) technology that is constantly changing is more advanced 3) Means of production and agricultural tools provided locally, 4) Intensive production for farmers and 5) The availability of transportation to distribute agricultural products The new paradigm of agricultural development is to improve the quality and professionalism of human resources peasants as active agents of integrated agricultural development. The development of agriculture aims to optimize the use of natural resources and advanced technology that is inexpensive, simple, and effective, supplemented with the structuring and institutional development of agriculture in the rural. The Core concept of sustainable is a belief that social, economic and environmental objectives should be complementary and interdependent in the development process ..
Sustainable agriculture is agriculture that does not break, do not change, harmonious and balanced with environmental or agricultural obey and submits to the rules of nature. Sustainable development includes sustainable agricultural development so that sustainable agricultural development is development activities thatintegrated economic, social and environmental aspects. In practice, sustainable development requires economic,environmental and social integration, across sectors, regions, and generations. Therefore, sustainable development requires the elimination of fragmentation; That is, environmental, social, and economic issues must be integrated throughout the decision-making process in order to lead to truly sustainable development. Sustainable agriculture is a form of agriculture aimed at improving the productivity of small farmers while utilizing sustainably available resources and addressing the effects of drought and other climate vulnerabilities, through environmental and climate change perspectives, and socio-economic perspectives . Sustainable agriculture can protect and increase natural resources (land, water, etc.), while ensuring food security; promoting global governance systems, especially trade regimes and policies, relating to food security; and protect and improve rural livelihoods, equity and social welfare [10]. Sustainable agricultural development can be done with four models of the system, namely organic farming system 2) integrated farming system 3) low-external-input farming system 4) integrated pest management The Integrated farming system was introduced based on study and research results which then gradually appear cropping pattern, farming patterns until the term of the farm system. The Integrated farming system of crop and livestock is one of the many technologies currently being developed in the sustainability of production system and increase farmer income..
The Concept Integrated Farming System (IFS ). IFS cope with the changes farm level, in a manner that balances food production, profitability, safety, animal welfare, social responsibility and environmental care. The Integrated farming system has been used for integrated resource management which may not include either livestock or fish components. Its focus is the integration of livestock and fish, often within a larger farming or livelihood system. IFS is a farming system that combines a variety of crop and livestock, and the application of various techniques to create suitable conditions to protect the environment, maintain land productivity and increase farmer income. This farming system occurs between the input-output relationship of commodities, linkages between production activities with pre-production and post-production, as well as between agriculture and manufacturing activities and services. IFS is part of the agro -eco technology system consisting of various interrelated components include non-farm business components, biophysical nature, and socio-economic, political and cultural. The Integrated farming system is a systematic approach to the use of low external input between crops with livestock IFS is a system consisting of a combination of plants and animals, where waste from one component can be used for other components. The advantages of integrated agriculture and mixed farming are more in terms of economic benefits than monocultures. Food demand is increasing day by day as food production is declining; the ongoing conversion of land to residential land and also drastic reduction of working farmers. IFS is able to provide diverse benefits to smallholder systems, both social, economic and environmental benefits. This can support small farmers in farming, reduce their vulnerability, ensure food security, employment, increase biodiversity, carbon stocks in agriculture and improve agricultural energy efficiency. The Public extension should see IFS as a flexible socio-ecological intervention, not a technology with the desired socioeconomic and ecological outcomes..
IFS is one of the agricultural systems that can be used as one of the solutions for climate change mitigation. Agricultural systems are setting the stabilized farming, unique and feasible are managed based on the practice match with physical environmental, biological and socioeconomic according to objectives, preferences and household resources. The farming can be as cultivation or livestock raising. The feasible farming is productive and efficient that have productivity, or production per unit of high land . IFS is one of the diversified activities of commodities that can be done to offset the demand for agricultural products (mainly food crop) are constantly increasing through the utilization of a synergistic relationship between commodity endeavored , without damaging the environment and high labor absorption. Implementation of the integrated farming system is the right choice to increase farmers' income and at once to utilize optimally agricultural resources. Integrated farming is defined as biologically Integrated farming system which integrates natural resources and regulation mechanisms into farming activities to achieve maximum replacement of off- farm inputs, secures sustainable production high quality food and other products through ecologically preferred technologies, sustain farm income, eliminates or reduces sources of present environment pollutions generated by agriculture and sustains the multiple function of agriculture.
Integrated Farming System of Rice and Cattle. Integrated farming system of rice and cattle is an improvement system of paddy productivity that combined with livestock business (cattle). Selection of rice and cattle in farming is based on reciprocity relationships, where rice provides straw and bran for cattle feed. Conversely, cattle produces feces as organic f ertilizer which in rice plants can improve soil structure, encourages absorption better humidity, reduce power absorbency, and prevent crusting of the surface soil. The Farm Management of on a bigger scale can save input usage and increase rice production by 17.7% and profits of 15.6%. The longer applying of the Crop Livestock System (CLS) pattern of rice and beef cattle further increases production and profits. The role of farmer institutions in farming CLS patterns is very important especially to accelerate technology transfer, efficiency of farming management, facilitate access to various resources, and establish cooperation, partnerships and marketing. The financial and economic feasibility of CLS farming pattern is higher than the non CLS pattern. The economic feasibility of CLS farming pattern is much higher than the financial feasibility obtained by farmers. The CLS pattern helped improve land fertility, water and air quality and creates harmony between the socio-cultural environment of the local community.
The technology introduction of the integration of cattle and rice can increase farmers' income. It increased are IDR 34,488,800 that higher than traditional technology ( singgle farming) of IDR 22,903,200. Based on the R/C ratio analysis, the value of R/C ratio is 6, this value is higher than the traditional pattern with value of R/C ratio is 4. This condition indicated that farming patterns of integration of cattle and rice are feasible for farmers to cultivate . The IFS of rice and cattle could increase farmers' income, had a positive impact on regional development. This could be seen from the increase in rice production and the increase in the use of labor in the family [48]. Rice productivity increased from 4.86 to 5.36 tonnes/ha, increased of 10.29% compared to those yielded by other farmers, and reduced the use of inorganic fertilizers 53.33%. The use of inorganic fertilizer decreased, like as: the use of Urea fertilizer decreased to 100 kg/ha (N 57.14%), SP-36 fertilizer decreased to 50 kg / ha (50%) and the use of KCl decreased to 50 kg / ha (50%). The average of daily weight gain was 790 gr/cattle/day, while the farmer pattern was 320 gr/head/day and an additional organic fertilizer was 10,02%. The C/N ratio of composted feces was 19.03%. The average organic fertilizer yielded was 4 kg/cattle daily and the rice straw yielded was 7.26 tons/ha/season. The income of farmers with the integrated farming system was Rp. 9,086,867 for 1 ha land and 2 cattle or Rp. 4,543,433 for 1 ha land and 1 cattle with R/C ratio of 1.56. They could provide benefits because the use of manure, increase productivity and income, and reduced production costs.
Conclusion. Integrated farming system is a farming system that combines two or more fields of agriculture, which is based on the recycling biological concept, and linked of input-output between the mutually commodities which approach of low-external-input utilization, which is done on the land, through the utilization of crop waste, animal manure, fish waste for the purpose of increasing the production and productivity so as to increase farmer income and can create condition that are environmentally friendly farming. Then, it should consider several aspects, namely: Sustainability that environmental friendly, is socially accepted by society, are economically viable and politically acceptable. Development of integrated farming systems is a very important thing to do because the integrated farming system has many benefits and advantages in order to increase the income and welfare of farmers. Integrated farming systems could also be a solution to overcome the problems that arise in the regional development. This Includes a) physical environment damage b) biotic environmental damage c) damage to natural resources d ) natural disasters e) lack of development of local potential..
Conclusion. Rice and Cattle Integration System is a rice farming system that is integrated with cattle where there is a reciprocal relationship. Rice plants provide straw and bran for cattle as feed and cattle produce feces that is useful for rice plants as organic fertilizer, so that it can increase the production and productivity of rice and cattle and can increase farmers' income. Implementation of rice and cattle integration system could increase the use family labor , reduced the use of inorganic fertilizers, reduced production costs, and can increase rice farming income and cattle business income. Then, also could improve land fertility, water and air quality and creates harmony between the socio-cultural environment of the local community, and be solution to climate change mitigation..
