The land which has not been used for cultivation or any other purpose for more than a gap of two years falls under the category of fallow land.
The cultivation of a few annual crops on large estates for the purpose of earning money is called plantation farming, for example; coffee, tea, rubber, cocoa etc.
Crops that are grown not for the domestic market but also for the international market come under commercial farming, for example: tobacco, cotton, jute etc...
The crops which are grown by the farmers for home consumption and not for the market is called subsistence farming.
Nowadays, a mixed type of farming is gaining popularity.
In addition to growing crops, dairy farming, silkworm rearing, sheep rearing, poultry, bee-keeping, fishery etc.are taken up and it is called mixed farming.
