Select an answer

In diversified farming, no single enterprise will provide how much of total farm income?

  1. ≥ 50% — Correct Answer
  2. ≥ 40%
  3. ≥ 20%
  4. ≥ 10%
Explanation:
Correct Answer: ≥ 50%

In diversified farming, no single enterprise will provide ≥ 50% (50% or more) of the gross farm income. This ensures that income is spread across multiple enterprises.

Comparison: Specialized vs. Mixed vs. Diversified Farming
  • Specialized farming: One enterprise contributes >50% of income. Example: Commercial dairy farming. (Most risky farming system in India.)
  • Mixed farming: Crop + Livestock; livestock contributes at least 10% but not more than 49%.
  • Diversified farming: Multiple enterprises; NO single one gives ≥ 50%. Example: Crop + Dairy + Poultry + Orchard.
Memory Tip

The 50% threshold is the KEY dividing line:
• >50% from one = Specialized (Risky!)
• No single one ≥50% = Diversified (Safe!)
• Livestock between 10–49% + Crops = Mixed
