what is mixed farming write any two difference between mixed farming and extensive farming​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mixed farming:- is a type of farming which involves both the growing of crops and the raising of livestock.Such agriculture occurs across Asia and in countries such as India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Afghanistan, South Africa, China, Central Europe, Canada, and Russia. Though at first[when?] it mainly served domestic consumption, countries such as the United States and Japan now use it for commercial purposes l.The cultivation of crops alongside the rearing of animals for meat or eggs or milk defines mixed farming. For example, a mixed farm may grow cereal crops such as wheat or rye and also keep cattle, sheep, pigs or poultry. Often the dung from the cattle serves to fertilize the cereal crops. Before horses were commonly used for haulage, many young male cattle on such farms were often not butchered as surplus for meat but castrated and used as bullocks to haul the cart and the plough.

Extensive farming:-or extensive agriculture (as opposed to intensive farming) is an agricultural production system that uses small inputs of labor, fertilizers, and capital, relative to the land area being farmed.Extensive agriculture, in agricultural economics, system of crop cultivation using small amounts of labour and capital in relation to area of land being farmed. The crop yield in extensive agriculture depends primarily on the natural fertility of the soil, the terrain, the climate, and the availability of water.Extensive farming has a number of advantages over intensive farming:

Less labour per unit areas is required to farm large areas, especially since expensive alterations to land (like terracing) are completely absent. Mechanisation can be used more effectively over large, flat areas.
