This is Mahesh Chander, again, on diversification.

If a farmer chooses to grow non-food crops in  his entire land or keeps a larger chunk for non-edible products like cotton, tobacco, poppy, flowers, medicinal plants etc., where does s/he stand in farm size vs food security? His/her contribution to food production per se might be nil or little, but s/he might be depending on market for his/her food needs.
