what is diversification?give examples

Diversification in general terms means to deviate from your actual work to some other sort of work for the time being especially in the case of agriculture to generate employment. As we know that agriculture is a sole program for rural people to earn remuneration. In simple words the people have to depend on natural happenings like rain and proper sunlight and that too at proper intervals which makes it a less reliable source as, if it does not happen the whole system of agriculture may collapse.

Some main/most prominant side employment generatory elements are as follows:

1) Fisheries

2) Animal hisbandry / Livestock Farming

3) Horticulture.

Thus in any of the dismal situation these prove out to be very handy for these "poor farmers"
