Cows contribute dung, urine, and leftover feed that support nutrient cycling, biogas production, and aquaculture inputs. Systems like fish–cow and crop–cow integration enhance productivity, profitability, and employment for smallholder farmers. CBIFS emphasizes ecological balance, reduced external inputs, and food security. Despite limitations such as nutrient loss, manure handling challenges, and low-quality residues, this model offers promising opportunities for sustainable intensification, organic input use, and rural livelihood enhancement.en-USCow-Based Integrated Farming Systemnutrient recyclingorganic inputscrop– livestock integrationsustainabilityrural livelihoodsfish–cow system.Book chapter
