Answer:
Physical/Environmental Factors Affecting Farming
Various factors in the natural environment affect farming. Topography, soil and climate are the major physical factors affecting farming.
Topography/Relief – Topography relates to how difficult it is to till land, soil erosion and poor transportation networks and facilities. Agriculture can be mechanized depending on the topography of land to be used. It’s impossible to use farm machinery on sloppy land or rough, hilly slopes. Mountain slopes can be terraced in areas with high-pressure soil such as China.
Climate – Climatic factors such as rainfall and temperature affect farming as discussed above.
Soil – Crops thrive in rich, loamy soils with proper drainage. Crops absorb food and water through their roots from soil. They also enjoy plant support. Soils with poor texture and harsh chemicals are low in productivity. Therefore, poor soils inhibit plant growth and development.
