Emerging Crisis in Punjab Agriculture

As is often the case, agricultural diversification is being suggested as the future strategy to address the problems confronting Punjab agriculture. The present paper, based on empirical evidence, examines the scope of agricultural diversification by analysing various dimensions of the suggested alternative. It discusses prospects of the diversification alternative and its implication on employment, income, natural resources and ecology. An attempt is also made to propose future strategy for agricultural and economic development of Punjab in the post-green revolution period.
