Multiple cropping is about the calendar, planting rice after maize on the same plot within a year. Modern methods are about the toolbox—hybrid seeds, tractors, chemical fertilisers. The real difference is in who bears the risk and debt. My father's two acres in Jotsoma still use the first, but the bank loan for a pump-set last year dragged us into the second, and his worry lines have deepened since.
