Answer 1

Answer:

SHIFTING FARMING

Shifting agriculture is a system of cultivation in which a plot of land is cleared and cultivated for a short period of time, then abandoned and allowed to revert to producing its normal vegetation while the cultivator moves on to another plot.

Shifting cultivation is practiced by nearly 250 million people, especially in the tropical rain forests of South America, Central and West Africa, and Southeast Asia.

COMMERCIAL FARMING

Commercial farming is a farming in which an agricultural crop is grown for sale to return a profit. ... Tobacco is an example of commercial farming. It is grown largely in semi-arid and rain-fed areas where the cultivation of alternative crops is economically unviable. India is the world's 2nd largest producer of tobacco.
