It will ensure regular income to the farmers instead of all odds.

Pertanian di India, meskipun bagiannya menurun dalam pendapatan nasional, terus menarik banyak perhatian dalam perdebatan kebijakan karena kepentingan strategisnya bagi penghidupan masyarakat petani, pengentasan kemiskinan, dan ketahanan pangan nasional. Saat ini, kontribusinya sekitar 15% terhadap produk domestik bruto (PDB) dan melibatkan sekitar setengah dari total tenaga kerja negara.

Agricultural diversification occurs when more species, plant varieties or animal breeds are added to a given farm or farming community and this may include landscape diversification different crops and cropping systems interspersed in space and time. Indian agriculture is diversifying during the last two decades towards High-Value Commodities (HVCs) i.e., fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, and fish products. The pace has been accelerated during the decade of 1990s. HVCs account for a large share in the total value of agricultural production.Agricultural diversification is essential for sustainable livelihoods for the following reasons: It leads to shift of workforce from crop production to other allied activities like poultry, livestock, etc. and non-agricultural activities. Diversification helps mitigate the risk to you about such scenarios by choosing different investments and types of investments. Diversification doesn't guarantee investment returns or eliminate risk of loss including in a declining market.It involves a shift from a single-cropping system to a multi-cropping system. Diversification involves a shift in cropping patterns from food grains to cash crops. The main aim is to promote a shift from subsistence farming to commercial farming. Crop diversification helps divide the risk posed by fluctuating market prices. If in one season the vegetables don't perform well, the farmer can sail through by the income brought in by the pulses that year and when both the crops get good price, there is also an opportunity to maximize the earnings. Biodiversity is important to agriculture because it helps create healthy soils, pollinators, and pest control. When there is a high level of biodiversity in an area, the soil will be healthier and more nutrient-rich. This leads to better crops that contain more nutrients that are needed for human consumption.Biodiversity is important to agriculture because it helps create healthy soils, pollinators, and pest control.

Indian farmers ought to diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to high-esteem crops. This will increment livelihoods and diminish environmental degradation at the same time. Agricultural diversification is one of the essential components of economic growth. It is the stage where traditional agriculture is transformed into a dynamic and commercial sector by shifting the traditional agricultural product mix to high standard products, which has a high potential in stimulating production rate. Agriculture Diversification refers to either a change in cropping pattern or the farmers opting for other non-farming options like poultry farming, animal husbandry, etc. This practice allows farmers to expand the production, which helps generate a higher level of income. n India, diversification has occurred both across and within the crop, livestock, forestry and fishery sectors. Within the agriculture, the share of output and employment in the non-crop sectors, i.e. animal husbandry, forestry and fisheries, has been gradually increasing. Agriculture being over crowded cannot further generate employment opportunities. Therefore, the prospects of the non-farm sectors should be opened up in the rural areas to provide job opportunities, thereby, diverting workforce from the already crowded agricultural sector. Diversification includes two aspects, one relates to diversification of crop production and the other relates to a shift of workforce from agriculture to other allied activities and non-agricultural sector. Crop diversification is intended to give a wider choice in the production of a variety of crops in a given area so as to expand production related activities on various crops and also to lessen risk.
