Farm diversification is when a farm branches out from traditional farming by adding new money-making activities. Dietary diversification strategies improve food consumption at the household level.Dietary diversity increases with farm diversity, market orientation and off-farm income. Farm diversity, market orientation and off-farm employment are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
As per the firm diversification for dietary diversity, Odisha aims to make the fallow lands during the rabi season productive and increase pulses and oilseed crop production. The success of fallow cropping, initially using low-input crops like green gram and black gram, is the best way to motivate farmers to explore more remunerative crops in rice fallows with supplemental irrigation.
