The choice of crops for cultivation should be ideally based on the appropriateness of a specific parcel of land for a particular crop. This is a multi-criteria problem associated with a host of natural conditioning variables including topography, climate and pedology. However, in a country like India, where agriculture is often traditional and subsistence-based, the farmers' choice of crop selection is usually influenced by numerous factors and therefore, may not be explained solely by the spatial variation in the agricultural land suitability.

整合印度东部缺水地区的农业用地适宜性和农民对作物选择的看法


理想情况下，种植作物的选择应基于特定土地对特定作物的适当性。这是一个与许多自然条件变量相关的多标准问题，包括地形、气候和土壤学。然而，在像印度这样的国家，农业通常是传统的和以自给自足为基础的，农民对作物选择的选择通常受到许多因素的影响，因此，可能不能仅仅用农业用地适宜性的空间变化来解释。
