The farm sector has historically played a foundational role in the development of non-farm sectors, particularly in agrarian economies such as India. Agriculture policy—through its formulation, components, and implementation—has not only aimed at ensuring food security and farmer welfare but has also consciously or indirectly shaped the growth of industry, services, infrastructure, and overall economic transformation. The interdependence between farm and non-farm sectors is structural and dynamic, as agriculture supplies raw materials, labor, capital, markets, and demand that stimulate broader economic development. In the formulation of agricultural policy, governments have recognized agriculture as a catalyst for structural transformation. Early policy frameworks after independence focused on land reforms, irrigation development, institutional credit, and price support mechanisms to enhance productivity and stabilize rural incomes. These measures were designed not merely to raise farm output but to generate surpluses that could support industrialization. The logic was that increased agricultural productivity would release labor for non-farm employment, generate savings for investment, and create demand for manufactured goods and services. Thus, agricultural policy was integrated into broader development planning. One of the primary contributions of the farm sector to non-farm sectors is the provision of raw materials for agro-based and manufacturing industries. Cotton supports the textile industry; sugarcane feeds sugar mills; jute, oilseeds, tea, coffee, rubber, and tobacco sustain various processing industries. Food processing, dairy, leather, and bio-based industries depend heavily on agricultural output. Agricultural policy components such as input subsidies, irrigation expansion, minimum support prices, and research under the Green Revolution enhanced output, thereby ensuring a steady supply of raw materials to industries. This strengthened backward and forward linkages between agriculture and industry and promoted industrial diversification. The farm sector also contributes
