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.
