Analysis of the dynamics and patterns of paddy field use – A case study

Abstract

Any emerging economy that relies heavily on agriculture must go through the process of agricultural development in order to hasten economic progress. Agriculture is a crucial primary sector. The focus of agricultural development schemes has shifted to productivity increase as growth from expansion has reached a plateau. The present study asses the donation of area, yield and their commerce to growth in product of rice as well as the composite periodic growth rate in area, product and yield of rice in Kerala. Kerala’s husbandry has undergone substantial structural changes, including a fall in its share of the state’s GDP and commercialization of agriculture. In the state, both the net sown area and the gross cropped area have decreased over time. Kerala is now in a state of food insecurity as a result of the changes in land use patterns, which have resulted in a major conversion of paddylands for the development of cash crops and for non-agricultural purposes. The study comes to the conclusion that Kerala’s food insecurity, rapid exposure of husbandry, and confederated conditioning are all results of the absence of an effective land application strategy. The most recent SPSS and XLSTAT versions were used to produce the results in this study. The researcher contends that paddy agriculture as a whole has to be improved.
