Question

Distinguish between Primitive subsistence and Intensive subsistence farming​

Answer 1

Answer:

Primitive subsistence agriculture includes shifting cultivation and nomadic herding. A plot of land is cleared by demolishing the trees and burning them. Then the ashes are combined with the soil and crops are cultivated.

Intensive subsistence farming is prevalent in the thickly populated areas of the monsoon regions of south, southwest, and southeast Asia. Subsistence agriculture can be used as a poverty alleviation strategy, specifically as a safety net for food-price shocks and for food security.
