Farmers in Indonesia introduce fish into their rice fields. The fish excrement acts as a fertilizer for the plants, while the plants attract insects and other pests, which serve as food for the fish. This process increases rice yield by up to 10%. 

It’s like chinampas all over again!

Once again, it looks like there are depths of ecological understanding we ignore at our peril when we do the whole “take one measurement and optimize the crap out of it in isolation from nature” thing.
