He said that farmers should switch to crops that will bring double income while protecting the quality of soil by adopting a comprehensive agriculture system.
“Farmers should choose different crops based on the changing climate because growing the same crops will adversely affect the soil. This is what agriculture scientists are advising farmers often. They should switch to different crops to make agriculture a benefit-oriented vocation. Therefore, farmers should adopt the new system and grow crops to get more benefit,” the Minister said.
