Answer:

Agriculture in Jammu and Kashmir (Explained With Map and Statistics)!

The practice of cultivating the soil in order to produce crops and domestica­tion of animals and pastoral farming are known as agriculture. The agricultural processes of a region are directly controlled by the prevailing physical environmental condition (temperature, precipitation, terrain, soil etc.) and the socio-cultural milieu (land tenancy, size of holding, technology, workforce, family requirements, irrigation, power, roads, marketing, aspira­tions of the growers, etc.).

The present article gives a concise account of the general land-use, cropping pattern, crops concentration, crops combinations and the agricultural operations being carried out in the different agro-cli­matic regions of the Jammu and Kashmir stateJammu and Kashmir is essentially a mountainous state in which only about 30 per cent of the reporting area is under cultivation. Agriculture is the mainstay of the people as it provides employment, directly or indirectly to about 70 per cent of the workforce.

It contributes about 65 per cent of the state revenue which explains the overdependence of the state on agriculture. Land is, however, limited and therefore, its judicious utilization is necessary to meet the growing need of the tremendously increasing population and for the sustainability of soils, ecosystems and environment.

Land Utilization:

Land utilization statistics provide the area figures, showing the distribution of the total geographical area/reporting area of a region/country into vari­ous uses. Although detailed statistics of land-use for the country, showing the area of land put to different uses, are continuously available since 1884, but in the case of Jammu and Kashmir there are several data gaps.
