The Kandi region of Punjab, a semi-mountainous zone along the Shivalik foothills, faces significant agricultural challenges due to its uneven terrain, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, and poor soil fertility. These factors hinder traditional crop cultivation and contribute to frequent droughts and delayed sowing seasons. However, the region holds substantial potential for agricultural diversification through the adoption of climate-resilient crops, modern irrigation systems, soil conservation, and organic farming. Enhanced extension services, financial support, and access to technology are critical to empowering local farmers. A region-specific crop diversification model, including cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, fodder, and medicinal plants, can improve sustainability and productivity. Complementary activities like agroforestry and livestock farming can further strengthen farmer incomes.
