1) The document discusses crop-livestock interactions and conservation agriculture practices in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, focusing on synergies and tradeoffs. 2) It analyzes data from village surveys conducted in 2005 on household assets, technology use, and crop residue management practices across a gradient of agricultural intensification. 3) The findings show that zero-tillage is more common where farms are larger and mechanized, while rice straw is less commonly used for livestock feed when harvesting is more mechanized. Crop residue management practices are largely incompatible with conservation agriculture.
