Answer 1

Answer:

Primitive Subsistence Farming:

This type of farming is still practised in few

pockets of India. Primitive subsistence

agriculture is practised on small patches of

land with the help of primitive tools like hoe,

dao and digging sticks, and family/community

labour. This type of farming depends upon

monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and

suitability of other environmental conditions

to the crops grown.

It is a ‘slash and burn’ agriculture.

Farmers clear a patch of land and produce

cereals and other food crops to sustain their

family. When the soil fertility decreases, the

farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land

for cultivation. This type of shifting allows

Nature to replenish the fertility of the soil through natural processes; land productivity

in this type of agriculture is low as the farmer

does not use fertilisers or other modern

inputs. It is known by different names in

different parts of the country.

Jhumming: The ‘slash and burn’ agriculture

is known as ‘Milpa’ in Mexico and Central

America, ‘Conuco’ in Venzuela, ‘Roca’ in

Brazil, ‘Masole’ in Central Africa, ‘Ladang’

in Indonesia, ‘Ray’ in Vietnam.

In India, this primitive form of cultivation

is called ‘Bewar’ or ‘Dahiya’ in Madhya

Pradesh, ‘Podu’ or ‘Penda’ in Andhra Pradesh,

‘Pama Dabi’ or ‘Koman’ or Bringa’ in Odisha,

‘Kumari’ in Western Ghats, ‘Valre’ or ‘Waltre’

in South-eastern Rajasthan, ‘Khil’ in the

Himalayan belt, ‘Kuruwa’ in Jharkhand, and

‘Jhumming’ in the North-eastern region.
