Farmers in northern Senegal are increasingly turning to a combined fish-and-rice farming technique as they seek to cope with mounting environmental pressures, according to a report by France 24.

The method, described by the broadcaster as an age-old technique, integrates fish farming directly into rice fields. According to France 24, the approach helps fertilise the fields naturally, reduces pest problems, and gives farming households an additional source of income beyond rice alone.

France 24 reported that this climate-smart farming practice is gaining renewed attention as communities in the region adapt to growing environmental challenges. The report did not specify the exact locations, number of farmers involved, or the scale of adoption of the technique.

Details on the specific environmental pressures driving farmers toward this method, as well as data on yields or income improvements, were not included in the available source material.
