Answer:
The
farmers of Palampur are not following good agricultural practices, because the
soil will lose its fertility after some years, reducing the yield drastically.
The farmers are violating the principle of sustainable development i.e., they
are exploiting resources without thinking about the future.
They can rectify this problem by using the 'multiple cropping' method, in
which a third crop of a vegetable/fruit is grown in between the cereals grown
in the kharif and rabi seasons.
This third crop brings back the nutrients in the soil lost
due to use of chemical fertilizers while growing cereals. To counter the reduction
in water table, they should employ rainwater harvesting methods during the monsoons
similar to those followed in other arid regions.
