The assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the right explanation in the above statements.
- India's rural population constitutes about 600 million and this population depends on 250 million hectares of agricultural land.
- With the increase in population and decrease in the land, the crop production will decrease thereby affecting the economy of the country.
- Therefore measures like organic farming should be promoted to prevent the use of artificial fertilizers to deteriorate the soil value.
- Farmers should diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to high value-crops.
- This process will increase income and reduce environmental degradation.
