Why is it necessary to increase the area under cultivation?

In a country like India where the population is ever increasing, there is always a demand for food crops.

1. More area should be brought under cultivation to meet its demand.

2. Also, if more area is cultivated, more agricultural produce can be sold in the market and even the surplus can be exported too.

3. This helps in the development of the country’s economy.

Hence, bringing more area under cultivation helps to achieve self-sufficiency, more earnings for the farmer and boost to the economy.
