Multiple cropping and modern farming are two ways of increasing production from the same 
piece of land. Under multiple cropping, production is increased by growing more than one crop 
on a piece of land during the year. It is the most common way of raising agricultural 
Under modern farming method, production is increased by using modern technology in 
place of traditional agricultural practices. Under this method, high yielding varieties (HYVs) 
of seeds are used in place of simple seeds. HYV seeds promise to produce much greater 
labour and capital. They retain a part of produce for self-consumption and sell the surplus 
in the nearby market. That part of farm produce which is sold in the market is called 
marketable surplus. Small farmers have little surplus output. It is the medium and large 
farmers only who have substantial surplus produce for selling in the market. 
..Non-farm activities 
Out of every 100 workers in the rural areas in India, only 24 are engaged in non-farm 
activities. There is a variety of non-farm activities in the villages. Dairy, small scale 
manufacturing, transport, etc., fall under this category.
