The answer lies in a harder, more granular transition: shifting acreage toward millets, oilseeds, pulses and select high-value crops such as FCV tobacco, while scaling micro-irrigation, procurement reform and price-risk management. Without a credible income bridge, farmers will stay locked into water-intensive cereals. With it, India’s rural GDP could gain resilience, productivity and climate durability.
