AN OVERVIEW OF CROP DIVERSIFICATION IN INDIA

Author(s) Ms. K. Manikanta, Prof. Sure Pulla Rao
Country India
Abstract This paper explores the complex role of crop diversification in Indian agriculture, particularly regarding its effects on small holder farmers. It examines the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of diversification, drawing from evidence across diverse agro-ecological and socio-economic contexts in India. Moreover, the paper examines the policy and institutional frameworks necessary to support farmers in adopting diversified cropping systems, particularly small and marginal farmers who are disproportionately affected by agricultural risks and uncertainties. The paper concludes with recommendations to enhance the adoption and benefits of crop diversification, ensuring its integration into broader strategies for agricultural and rural development in India.
