In the Garhwal Himalaya of India, a practice called barahnaja involves sowing 12 or more crops on the same plot, including various types of beans, grains, and millets, and harvesting them at different times.
Adopting the practice of multiple cropping on a large scale can help in reducing the food crises of a country.
Risk of weed growth, pest and disease infestation reduces because of mutual relationship within the crop.
This results in better farm management and increased income of the farmer.
