Mixed farming

NACE v2.0 Code: A01.50

About mixed farming

NACE code 01.50, 'Mixed farming', encompasses a diverse range of agricultural activities that combine the production of various crops and the rearing of different livestock. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing a wide array of food and agricultural products that are essential for sustaining human and animal populations. Mixed farming operations often serve as the backbone of local and regional food systems, contributing to food security and supporting rural livelihoods.

Production process

The key production techniques in mixed farming involve the integrated management of land, crops, and livestock. Farmers typically employ a combination of arable farming, where they cultivate crops such as cereals, vegetables, and fruits, and animal husbandry, where they raise livestock like cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. The integration of these activities allows for the efficient use of resources, such as the recycling of animal waste as fertilizer for crops, and the utilization of crop residues as animal feed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for mixed farming operations include land, water, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and livestock. Farmers often invest in specialized machinery, such as tractors, plows, and harvesting equipment, to facilitate the various agricultural activities. Additionally, mixed farming operations rely on a skilled workforce, including farm managers, laborers, and veterinary professionals, to ensure the efficient and sustainable production of a diverse range of agricultural products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of mixed farming include a wide variety of crops, such as cereals, vegetables, fruits, and forage crops, as well as livestock products, such as meat, dairy, eggs, and wool. These outputs are then consumed by a range of other NACE codes, including 10.11 Food processing, 10.51 Dairy products, and 10.13 Meat and poultry products. The diverse nature of mixed farming operations also allows for the production of biofuels, such as 35.11 Electricity generation, and the provision of ecosystem services, such as 01.62 Support activities for animal production.
