Abstract
The Green Revolution in the late 1960s enabled India to overcome a severe food shortage and achieve food grain self-sufficiency. Recent trends in crop farming witnessed a multifold shift towards paddy and wheat specialization in Haryana. The sustainability of the future agricultural production system in terms of soil, water, climate and market characteristics is threatened by continuous mono cropping of the rice-wheat cropping system. Increased rice-wheat mono cropping trend necessitates diversification on account of ecological concerns. So, farm diversification is an important strategy to maintain sustainability of the Haryana state agriculture. This article briefly discusses the various diversification initiatives performed in Haryana and their effects.
