The rice-fish integrated farming system is a composite agricultural model that integrates food production and aquaculture, and has the dual functions of food security and ecological environmental protection. Through case studies and data analysis, this study systematically evaluated the comprehensive impact of this model on rice yield, ecological benefits and economic returns. The study found that the rice-fish system effectively improved soil nutrients, suppressed pests and diseases, reduced pesticide and fertilizer inputs, and enhanced the stability of the field ecosystem without reducing rice yields. At the same time, farming aquatic animals such as fish, shrimp, and crabs can bring additional economic income to farmers and achieve a diversified output structure. Typical regional practices further verified the advantages of the rice-fish system in improving resource utilization efficiency and ecological cycle capacity. Rice-fish farming is an effective path to achieve green transformation of agriculture. This study hopes to make an important contribution to the construction of a high-yield, efficient, and eco-friendly modern agricultural system.
