National Policy Interface
- To enhance agricultural adaptation and foster crop diversification, it is imperative to emphasize and focus more on the crop diversification programme within the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA).
- This integration should be accompanied by a substantial allocation of funds directed towards robust Research and Development (R&D) initiatives and comprehensive capacity building within the framework of NMSA.
- Incentivizing farmers to cultivate a broader spectrum of crops beyond the conventional rice-wheat cycle will play a pivotal role.
- Creating a market demand for diverse crops and offering incentives through minimum support price to farmers will encourage a shift towards cultivating a wider range of crops.
