The future strategy of crop diversification is important for farmers and food security. Diversification allows farmers to grow various crops to meet various needs, such as food, fiber, biofuel, or medicinal products. Crop diversification has many benefits, including increased production and income, lower risk for weather extremes, and improved soil health.

Currently, there are several ways to achieve crop diversification. Farmers can choose to grow several different types of crops together in the same field, or they can plant a variety of crops in separate fields. Another way to achieve crop diversification is to use plants used for multiple purposes, such as corn for ethanol production and soybeans for protein production.

Future Strategy of Crop diversification

There are several challenges associated with achieving crop diversification.

• Kharif season:­ The maize-based or cotton-based crop production.
• Robi season:­ The jute-based or wheat-based crop production.
• Sugarcane land can be brought under inter­cropping totally.
• As a relay crop, lentil/grasspea is included in the T. amon field.
• Short-duration and leafy vegetables such as red amaranth, batishak, chinshak, etc.
• Different vegetable crop varieties should be grown as inter-crop in banana and papaya fields.
• The high land area requires vegetable crops, e.g., cauliflower, cabbage, tomato, etc.
• Introduce HYV of different crops among farmers to increase yield per land unit.
• Developed HYV through research.
• Introduce expensive extensions among farmers to develop their situation.
• Develop suitable technology ­ Integrated pest management, organic farming, etc.
• Increasing profitable production of minor crops (e.g., pulse) and major crops.
• Improve suitable technologies in dry, wet, and rain-fed areas.
• Improvement of soil fertility through proper soil management.
• Formulation of integrated land-use policy.
• Development and dissemination of appropriate transport, storage, marketing, etc., facilities.

There are 84.4 lakh hectares of land under cultivation and total cropped land of about 128.4 lake hectares, i.e., 93% of total land.

So, we should grow a minimum of 3 crops in a year in all high land and medium high land and 2 crops in a year in medium low land. We will get a glorious future by accepting inter-crop technology.
