Abstract
Mixed farming as a means of providing social and economic security to small farmers is now well realised. By adopting a diversified system of farming, the farmer can increase his income, provide work for all the members of the household all through the year and utilise the farm by-products profitably. Mixed or diversified farming is the inclusion of several kinds of livestock, bee-keeping and poultry farming on the one hand and the cultivation of several kinds of crops on the other in the farming practice. In regard to the latter, it would be good for the farmer to plant both permanent and annual crops. Permanent crops should include fruit trees as well as economic trees providing saleable products such as fodder, firewood, fencing material, etc.
