 ABSTRACT

Rice is one of the staple food for billions of people in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Estimated Global area of rice is 164.7 million ha. Globally, rice ranks second to wheat in terms of area harvested, but first in terms of calories per hectare (18% of total kilocalories per person per day. Often low volume high-value crops like spices also aid in crop diversification. Higher profitability resilience/stability in production also induces crop diversification. Agriculture become drought proof and growth become more regionally balanced; there has been a reduction in the instability of agricultural output.

Key words: Food, Cropping system, Wheat, Rice, Agriculture
