Farmers can increase the productivity of their land by the following methods:

• Multiple Cropping: It refers to the growing of more than one crop on a same piece of land in a year. This results in increased production.

• Modern Farming Methods: The thoughtful utilisation of the modern methods of farming like using HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers and the spray of pesticides and insecticides leads to increased production.

• Modern methods of irrigation: In order to avoid the dependency on rainfall, various methods of irrigation should be adopted by farmers. These may include installation of tube wells for irrigating fields. Further, irrigation by canals, small check dams etc. may result in increased production.
