The correct answer is: d) All of the above.
Planned development initiatives for agriculture and horticulture in Arunachal Pradesh focus on increasing productivity, value addition and processing, and organic farming.
Increasing productivity is important to ensure that the state can meet its food needs and generate income from agriculture. Value addition and processing can help to increase the value of agricultural products and create jobs in the processing sector. Organic farming is important to protect the environment and the health of farmers and consumers.
The following are some of the planned development initiatives for agriculture and horticulture in Arunachal Pradesh:
- The Integrated Agricultural Development Project (IADP) aims to increase productivity and profitability of agriculture through a package of interventions, including improved seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides; irrigation; and extension services.
- The Horticulture Development Project (HDP) aims to increase production and productivity of horticulture crops through a package of interventions, including improved varieties, planting materials, and post-harvest management.
- The Organic Farming Promotion Project (OFPP) aims to promote organic farming through a package of interventions, including training, certification, and marketing support.
These initiatives are expected to help Arunachal Pradesh achieve its goal of becoming a self-sufficient state in food production and a major exporter of agricultural products.
