This review explores the historical evolution, ecological advantages, economic viability, and challenges of rice-fish systems, drawing on global case studies primarily from Asia and Africa. By synthesizing data from over 50 studies, it highlights how these systems improve biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and climate adaptability while reducing reliance on chemical inputs. Comparative analyses reveal increased yields, higher net incomes, and lower environmental impacts compared to monocultures. The article underscores the potential of rice-fish polyculture to foster sustainable food security amid climate change, emphasizing the need for policy support and adaptive management.</jats:p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Horticulture, Agriculture and Food science}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Bhattacharya, Anwita}, year={2024}, pages={31–36} }
