Indulge in the succulent and spicy crayfish from Caobuhu Town in Yichang, where farmers are harvesting them from rice fields! This innovative farming system not only enhances the landscape but also boosts farmers' income.
The integrated rice-crayfish farming system is a form of ecological agriculture where crayfish are raised alongside the rice in paddy fields. During rice growing season, crayfish and rice coexist and mutually benefit in the paddies.
"The paddy fields provide natural food and habitat for crayfish. Crayfish grown in this environment are pollution-free, environmentally friendly, and are highly favored by consumers," said Zheng Peng, an expert on aquaculture technologies.
