Abstract: Integrated Farming of Rice and Fish (IFRF) has the ability to change the agricultural production pattern from mono-farming model to the co-farming model, and the stereoscopic and integrated farming system that the IFRF has established has the ability to change the flat production to the stereoscopic production. Therefore, IFRF is the important development direction of changing way and adjusting structure for agriculture. In order to furtherly promote the development of the research on the IFRF and its application and dissemination, the general development situation of IFRF in China was reviewed; the effect of IFRF on increasing farmers'' income and enhancing agricultural efficiency was illuminated, and the technologies matched with IFRF, such as rice field engineering technology, safe plant protection technology, security fertilization technology, fish disease prevention and control technology and water quality management technology, were also illuminated simultaneously. Furthermore, the supporting role of IFRF for agriculture was reviewed, the application perspective of IFRF was looked into, and the important research direction of IFRF was also pointed out simultaneously.
