Yes, it's true "Today Indian agriculture finds itself at the crossroads."

Explanation:

India's farmers have experienced increasing difficulties since 1990.

Farmers should switch from cultivating cereals to high-value crops. Due to the fact that fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers, vegetables, and biofuel crops (jat ropha) require far less irrigation than rice or sugarcane, this will improve incomes while also reducing environmental degradation.

Numerous high-value crops may be grown in India thanks to the country's diverse environment.
