Horticulture plays a large role in India's agricultural diversification.
Jun 19, 2024

The transformation into a foodgrain-surplus nation was significantly influenced by the Green Revolution in India. However, this achievement came with its own set of challenges including groundwater depletion, soil fertility decline, and excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers. This situation prompted a shift towards diversifying agriculture with an emphasis on high-value crops like fruits, vegetables, and flowers, thereby enhancing horticulture's prominence in the agricultural sector. Horticulture not only promises to increase farm income but also ensures livelihood security and has the potential to earn foreign exchange. This sector has become an attractive avenue for small and marginal farmers.
