Haryana Agriculture Minister O P Dhankar today urged officials to encourage farmers to adopt crop diversification in view of the changing climate scenario and help them come out of the traditional wheat-paddy cycle to enhance their income.

Chairing a review meeting here on the preparations for the Kharif season, Dhankar said besides agriculture and horticulture, dairying should also be adopted as business.

He asked officers to work as a team and make policy decisions to encourage farmers to use technology and take to organic farming and marketing, an official release said.

Dhankar also directed officers to make most of the geographical location of the state and its vicinity to the National Capital Region in terms of marketing, keeping in view the 340 horticulture villages being developed in the state.

 

Officials were told to take the schemes for the dairy sector to the grassroots level.
