Answer 1

a. fragmentation and subdivision of land holdings

Answer 2

Extensive methods of cultivation are not a typical feature of Indian agriculture.

• Indian agriculture depends on timely arrival of monsoon. If the monsoon arrive too early or too late then in both ways the crops are destroyed due to the lack of facilities.
• Due to poverty, Indian farmers that have to pay borrowed money and are under too much pressure.
• Fragmentation and subdivision of land holdings happens due to large population
• Indian agriculture has intensive methods of cultivation rather than extensive methods in which more input is required in terms of labor and capital to grow the crops.
