Solution
The strategy of increasing crop intensity aims at increasing the productivity of a piece of land by increasing the number of times it is cultivated in a year. It aims at increasing the productivity of agriculture by increasing the productivity of the already cultivated areas. It is important for countries like India where there is a dearth of land so it is difficult to bring new pieces of land under cultivation to meet the ever-increasing demand of the rising population.
