National food security must be maintained because the food need of the Indonesian population in the next few years will still continue to increase. Since there is no food diversification for their staple food, rice role will still dominate. More over, the conversion of irrigated rice fields functions is also increasing. This reality must be addressed with policies and the application of efficient lowland rice production technology so that it is still able to meet national food needs while the income of wetland rice farmers increase. This study, combined an experimental production technology and descriptive methods on the farmer income aspect institutional strengthening. The aim of the research is to increase the added value of irrigated rice fields, which area is believed to be increasingly shrinking, while on the other side still produce rice as the main national food and also produce the addition of animal food in the form of fish coulde. Data obtained in the previous study showed that combination of water dept of a 10 cm with 50 cm width is the best treatment for the development of rice and fish togethere. This treatment is used as well as basis for testing the MINAPADI-SRI pattern with more varieties and types of fish, which is expected to obtaine more practical and profitable combinations. The research was conducted in the Split plot design where fish species (Tawes, Mas, and Nila) as the main plot and the rice varieties (PB42, Batang Piaman, and Beras Merah) as sub plot. The results showed that the PB42 gave higher yield compared to two the other varieties where tilapia and goldfish were which maintained in the technically irrigated rice fields.
