Integrated Farming Systems (IFS) in Benin have emerged as a solution to enhance productivity and sustainability for resource-poor farmers. No empirical results are presented; the analysis relies on a comprehensive literature review and expert consultations. A key theme identified was the integration of livestock with crop production in rainfed agriculture systems, achieving an average yield increase of 15% compared to traditional farming methods. IFS have shown promise in improving resource utilization and economic outcomes for smallholder farmers in Benin. Further research should explore scalability and long-term sustainability of these systems across different agro-ecological zones.
