Explanation:
Types of Agriculture
- Specialized horticulture
- Specialized horticulture arose as a result of increased demand for horticultural goods in highly urbanized areas with dense populations. It has been effectively used for vineyard cultivation in northern Hungary, France, and the Swiss Lake regions.
- Subsistence Farming:
- Growing crops and rearing animals for the sole purpose of feeding the farmer and his family is known as subsistence farming. It entails the use of basic farm equipment on small plots of land. Most subsistence farmers are thought to be poor and so unable to afford better seeds and fertilizers. As a result, they farm on ground with low soil fertility or terrain that is difficult to work.
- Rice as dominant crop:
- Intensive subsistence farming is conducted in tropical locations with dense populations and high rainfall. Rice is the most widely produced crop because it can feed and employ a large number of people in each unit area. Farmers employ animal and manual power to carry out farming chores, which is mostly practiced in Southeast Asia. The majority of farmers employ manures to increase their farm's productivity per unit area.
