Food-feed system

Food-feed system

Food-feed system is under the integrated livestock-crop production system where crops are grown on farms and the produces are harvested for human consumption and the crop-residues or by-products of such crops are used as feeds for livestock eg. intercropping of cowpeas between rows of cassava. Moreover, the legumes used can enrich soil fertility and enhance the crop productivity. A good example of system can be seen in the integrated dairy-cassava system where cassava hay can be produced as dairy feed.
