Answer:
The agricultural sector accounts for employment of more than 51% of all rural households. But do you know the growth in this sector is shrinking each year? This is just an indicator of how overcrowded agriculture is. It calls for a shift of workforce to other economic activities. This is why we must look into diversification into productive activities like horticulture, animal husbandry and fisheries.
Explanation:
Diversification into productive activities in this context simply means to divulge the unnecessarily employed workforce towards activities that are short on the workforce. There are two ways to achieve diversification.
The first aspect refers to changing the cropping patterns which further means a change in the proportion of areas dedicated to the cultivation of various crops. The second aspect focuses on the shift of workforce to other related activities (poultry, husbandry etc.) and non-farming activities( coming under the umbrella 0f secondary and tertiary sectors).
