Findings (^) Crop diversification rather than crop concentration. (^) Changing cropping pattern from food crops to Commercial and Horticulture crops is moving towards agricultural sustainability (^) Eastern & Northeastern Regions: Moving towards coarse cereals, fruits, and vegetables. (^) North-Western Region: Shift towards oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. (^) Central Region: Increasing allocation towards oilseeds and cotton. (^) Southern Region: Growing areas for sugarcane, cotton, fruits, and vegetables. (^) Leaders in Diversification: Maharashtra followed by Andhra Pradesh; lowest in Assam.
