We suspect that the choice of farm management system may be the major reason for the differences; for example, integrated farming systems (integration of cattle and crops) are highly prevalent in Pahang and part of Johor and Kelantan [ 28].
This study shows that despite the desires of its inhabitants, KGR is failing to promote this shift from extensive to a more productive intensive and integrated farming; there is insufficient land available per household to enable integration of crop farming for production of fodder on a scale sufficient to meet current herd needs, compounded by the arrival of new households.
These activities lack integration between farm and non-farm measures and were neither effective nor sustainable (Badege 2001; Elias 2002; Melaku 2003).
The report cites diversifying crop production, better integration of farming with the natural habitat, agroecology and "sustainable intensification" as strategies to help small-scale farmers adapt to a warming world.
Some pastoralists are able to intensify, using supplements, veterinary inputs, fodder crops, tighter integration of farming and livestock, 'improved' high-yielding (but drought- and disease-prone) breeds and more market-oriented models of production.
Mechanization of farming jobs, integration, and isolation, left Belle Glade poorly developed.
The effect of management type was found to differ depending on the integration status of the farm; free-range integrated farms were significantly less likely than free-range non-integrated farms to be assigned Laf and vice versa (interaction coefficient = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.03-0.59, p = 0.009).
Biofuel-related policies largely focused on the technical and economic aspects of biomass-based energy production without taking into consideration socio-economic objectives linked to agricultural production [70], and without paying much attention to the sustainable integration of energy crops into farming systems.
For the integration of nutrition objectives into farming systems research, such support may be needed at the policy level.
This latter was traditionally based on a close relation between aesthetic values, functionality, and simplicity, broadly acknowledged only recently, as shown by the loss of landscape integration of farm buildings constructed in the last decades.
The successful integration of farmed transplants in Eilat's degraded reef and their provision of new ecological niches for reef-associated fauna, coupled with economic assessments, indicate that transplantation of farmed corals is an easy, cost-effective mean to counteract degradation of coral reefs.
