Question

Write 3 difference between intensive subsistence agriculture and primitive subsistence agriculture

Answer 1

Intensive farming or intensive agriculture is a kind of agriculture where a lot of capital and labour are used to increase the yield that can be obtained per area. The use of large amounts of pesticides for crops, and for medication for animal stocks is common. In a lot of part of India or world intensive farming had been started after Green Revolution and because of that people shift from organic farming to chemical farming which causes alot of damage to the soil , water, air, humans and even mother earth. Because some of the chemical were non biodegradable which causes a lot of harm to every one. Like Punjab and Haryana used to produce highest amount of wheat and maize for the country but now days soil quality of both state is getting worst and lot of water pump has been marked red because of infected water

Subsistence agriculture is a self-sufficiency farming system in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families. The output is mostly for local requirements with little or no surplus trade. Alot of small farmers who are also govt employees they do this type of farming so they could just provide a good quality organic food to their families and children. Because chemical substances causes a lot of damage to the human body and mind.hope it helps.
