Primary Activities: The economic activities which involve extraction and production of natural resources are called primary activities, e.g. agriculture, fishing, gathering, etc.
Secondary Activities: The economic activities which involve the processing of natural resources are called secondary activities, e.g. manufacturing steel, baking of bread, weaving of cloth, etc.
Tertiary Activities: The economic activities which support the primary and secondary activities are called tertiary activities, e.g. banking, transport, finance, etc.
50% of the world’s population is engaged in agricultural activity. In India, two-thirds of the population is dependent on agriculture.
Aerable Land: The land on which crops are grown in called arable land. Favourable topography and climate are important for agriculture.
Viticulture: Cultivation of grapes is called viticulture.
Horticulture: Growing vegetables, flowers and fruits for commercial use is called horticulture.
Sericulture: Commercial rearing of silk worms for silk production is called sericulture.
Farm System: Farming is a kind of system in which various inputs and processes are involved to obtain production. Machineries, seeds and fertilisers are the physical inputs for agriculture. Labour is the human input. Crops are the outputs of agriculture.
Types of Farming
There are two main types of farming, viz. subsistence farming and commercial farming.
Subsistence Farming: When farming is done to meet the needs of the farmer’s family, it is called subsistence farming. In subsistence farming, low levels of technology and household labour are generally utilised. Farming is done on smaller plots and output is also small. Subsistence farming can be further categorized as intensive subsistence and primitive subsistence farming.
Intensive Subsistence Farming: In this type of farming, the farmer cultivates on a small plot of land. He uses simple tools and more labour. Places which have fertile soils and where the climate allows a large number of days with sunshine are suitable for this type of farming. In favourable climates, farmers are able to grow more than one crop in a year. Rice is the main crop in this type of farming. However, wheat, maize, pulses and oilseeds are also grown. This type of farming is prevalent in densely populated areas of the monsoon regions of south, southeast and east Asia.
Secondary Activities: The economic activities which involve the processing of natural resources are called secondary activities, e.g. manufacturing steel, baking of bread, weaving of cloth, etc.
Tertiary Activities: The economic activities which support the primary and secondary activities are called tertiary activities, e.g. banking, transport, finance, etc.

Intensive Subsistence Agriculture is witnessed in thickly populated areas of monsoon region in Asia as the type of agriculture mentioned requires a lot of water as source for optimal growth of crop.
Explanation:
The Intensive Subsistence Agriculture is the form of agriculture where the grown crops are usually consumed by the crop farmers and their families. They usually grow Kharif Crops which are water rich therefore the monsoon area suits best with thick population good for labor and consumption.
