Question
How has Indian agriculture transformed from subsistence to commercial farming?
Solution
Through a variety of strategies, Indian agriculture has transitioned from subsistence to commercial farming:
- Traditional cash crops for market sale were less important as High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds, cherriical fertilisers, and irrigation methods became more widely used.
- Commercial farming practices have replaced traditional subsistence agriculture among farmers, thanks to initiatives supporting crop diversification, agricultural subsidies, and export-oriented agriculture.
