Crop Diversification
How to form Notes on Agricultural Diversification
Agriculture Diversification refers to either a change in cropping pattern or the farmers opting for other non-farming options like poultry farming, animal husbandry, etc. This practice allows farmers to expand the production, which helps generate a higher level of income.
Changing a cropping pattern implies the Diversification between food and non-food crops, conventional crops and horticulture, high value and low-value crops, etc.
After the emergence of Golden Revolution (1991-2003), diversification has started to flourish rapidly across the country
Horizontal Diversification
We have been growing chillies in Cork since 2013. We have two growing facilities, one in Douglas and one in Rochestown. We typically grow 30 to 40 chilli varieties each year.
All our chillies are grown hydroponically. That means no soil. The plants are grown in channels or pipes with their roots suspended in a continuously pumped water-based solution.
