Crop Diversification and the Impact of Climate Change on the Traditional Cropping Patterns in North India
PRAMOD THAPLIYAL
Abstract
If India's agricultural industry is to continue growing sustainably and include
land-constrained farmers inside the intensification process, there must be a
shift in planting patterns. Since the COVID-19 epidemic caused millions to lose
their non-farming livelihood prospects, pressure was put on agriculture,
heightening the need for a shift in cropping patterns. To encourage change in
the sector, it is necessary to identify the driving forces and devise effective
intervention techniques to counteract them. Decentralized agricultural
education, extension services, and human growth and social capitals that take
into account the unique dynamics of each community will be essential to
ensuring the success of the transition. As a result of climate change, the
agricultural industry will no longer be viable unless effective adaptation
strategies are put in place. Smallholder farmers in developing nations like India
are especially vulnerable because of their lack of access to modern agricultural
technology and their reliance on natural resources like rainfall.
