Mixed cropping is a traditional yet effective agricultural practice where multiple crops are grown on the same field simultaneously. This system diversifies income sources and minimizes risks associated with crop failure. Legumes, for instance, enrich soil with nitrogen, benefiting companion crops. Mixed cropping optimizes land use, suppresses weeds, and reduces pest infestations naturally, minimizing the need for chemical inputs. It also enhances biodiversity and promotes a balanced ecosystem. Farmers adopting mixed cropping can achieve higher overall productivity and sustainable livelihoods. This approach is particularly beneficial for smallholders seeking to maximize resource efficiency while ensuring food and income security.
