Question

What is intensive subsistence agriculture dominated by crop other than paddy notes 2?

Answer 1

Answer:

Subsistence agriculture is the type of farming in which crops grown are consumed by the grower and his family. Subsistence agriculture may be of different types. It may be shifting or settled agriculture, it may be primitive or non-primitive in character, it may be both inten­sive and extensive in nature.

As long as its major purpose is fulfilling needs of its producers it remains subsistence farming. The main distinction between primitive (shifting) and non-primi- five (sedentary type of subsistence agriculture) depends on the tools and equipment’s used.

The tools of the primitive agriculturists are more or less the same as those used in shifting cultivation, while in non-primitive subsistence agriculture wooden plough, harrows, hedges and permanent bandings are used. In India subsistence agri­culture is practiced in the areas of isolation and relative isolation in Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Northeast India, Bun- delkhand and the Western Ghats.
