“…Crop diversification can be measured by various statistical indices, namely index of maximum proportions, Gibbs and martin index, Herfindahl index, Ogive index, Simpson index, entropy index, Shannon diversity index many more, few of the methods explain either concentration or diversification of crops over time and space. Each method has some limitation or superiority over the other (Shiyani & Pandya, 1998). For assessing the extent of crop diversification, composite entropy index (C.E.I) was used in the present analysis, formerly used by (Acharya et al, 2011; Shiyani & Pandya, 1998).…”

This study examines the structure of agriculture productivity and crop diversification across different zones in Punjab, India during 1966–1967 to 2017–2018. The composite entropy index shows that almost all zones are specialised in few crops but some of them are relatively less or some are more. Hence, we found zones are experiencing a lateral movement toward crop specialisation and crop diversification is not happening. Further, results reveals that accessibility of market and roadhave a positive influenced the level of crop diversification are accessibility of market, roads have found a positive influenced on crop diversification. Whereas more use of fertiliser, intensity of irrigation and rainfall have leads to concentration rather than crop diversification. Similarly, study also analysed the factors that are responsible of variation in productivity by regional factors such as better road, fertiliser, urbanisation, literacy and cropping intensity. As the analysis indicates that there is need to emphasise on agro-climatic regional preparation by clearly identifying the existing resource endowments and constraints of the agro-climatically homogeneous regions.

“…According to Rajendran et al (2017) and Sharma (2007) there is a favorable correlation between horticultural product ion and infrastructure, which finally becomes the main factor influencing how much money farmers may make. Joshi et al (2004) and Shiyani and Pandya (1998) examined the influence of skilled and unskilled agricultural manpower on agriculture diversification, and the study exhibited that better-educated, skilled manpower had clear adaptability towards diversification and was aware enough to diversify the risks that arise due to seasonality in agriculture.…”

The study examines an exploration of agricultural diversification in India. Economic Survey 2022 calls for agriculture diversification in view of acute water stress in cultivated areas where wheat, paddy, and sugarcane are grown in India. Agriculture diversification has a direct association with farm income. Thus, it can substantially contribute to the income creation capacity of marginal and small farmers and stabilize their livelihoods. Thus, approaching this notion, a study aimed at an empirical analysis of agricultural diversification in the Bundelkhand region with the help of a primary survey. For this, a logit regression model has been used. With the implication of the logit model, it has been found that agriculture diversification is potentially and significantly more likely to be affected by the farm size, literacy, and agricultural training on technology demonstration. The study suggests restructuring education in rural areas and incorporating the aspect of regional agriculture literacy into the school curriculum. Special training or literacy programmes must be conducted specifically by targeting the small and marginal farmers, as the study found them more enthusiastic to adopt diversified agricultural practices. Further, there is an acute need to prevent ongoing land diminution, as excessively marginal land holdings are not effective and productive for diversified agricultural practices.

“…A similar study is conducted by Chand (1996) in Western Himalayan Region and observed that diversification through horticulture crops has a huge potentiality to augment income and employment among marginal and submarginal holdings compared with the bigger farmers due to more family labor engagement. Adding to horticultural crops, diversification toward commercial crops also assists the small and marginal farmers to uplift their economy through increasing their farm output (Shiyani and Pandya, 1998).…”

“…Now the focus has shifted toward other issues like income, employment, health, and nutritional security based diversification (Rahaman, 2021). Ample evidence from the works of the literature shows that the scope of crop diversification is multi-folded, that is, it augments income and employment opportunities as well as improves food and nutritional security (Bamji, 2000; Chand, 1996; Kasem and Thapa, 2011; Mango et al, 2018; Rajendran et al, 2017; Satyasai and Viswanathan, 1996; Shiyani and Pandya, 1998; Weinberger and Lumpkin, 2007). Intensive subsistence farming creates severe environmental problems, like depletion of groundwater resources, soil erosion, and loss of fertility.…”

The food basket of the world is diversifying toward high-value crops. A diversified cropping system offers multifaceted opportunities for farmers. The nature of diversification in developing countries is significantly different at both farming and cropping levels; thus, it is felt important to investigate such a study at different land size holding. This study is conducted to examine the spatiotemporal pattern of crop diversification under different land size classes in the state of West Bengal, which assumes as a representative image of India. The study uses secondary data obtained from the Agriculture Census for the years 1995–1996 and 2015–2016. Gibbs-Martin’s diversification technique is employed for the calculation of the diversification index. Overall analyses reveal that the stunting change in diversification is noted in marginal, small, large, and all land classes. The implication of such growth pushes the rural economy in a skewed direction. For de-stunting growth in diversification index, short- and long-term policy push from public and private agencies is the need of the hour.
