Answers
A natural region is a basic geographic unit. Usually it is a region which is distinguished by its common natural features of geography, geology, and climate.
12 Main Types of Agriculture
1) Shifting Cultivation (rotating crops)
2) Intensive Pastoral Farming (focused on grazing animals)
3) Subsistence Cultivation (eeking out a living, often on inhospitable land)
4) Commercial Cultivation (usually focused on cash crops, such as cotton, palm oil - and poppy for heroine)
5) Mixed crop Cultivation
6) Dairy Farming (primarily cows for milk and chickens for eggs)
7) Dry Farming (a growing area is modern Genetically Modified seeds that require less water than normal crops)
8) Intensive Arable Farming (crop growing, often staples such as maize, wheat or corn)
9) Market Gardening (growing fruit and salad vegetables).
10) Silk Farming (cultivating silk worms)
11) Plantation or Tree Farming (long term development of timber)
12) Extensive Pastoral Farming (eg Hill Sheep Farming)
answer:-
Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs, sheep and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture in the twentieth century came to dominate agricultural output, though about 2 billion people still depended on subsistence agriculture into the twenty-first.
