Answers
Answer:
Subsistence Farming:
Majority of farmers in the country practise subsistence farming.
It is characterised by small and scattered land holdings and use of primitive tools.
As the farmers are poor, they do not use fertilisers and high yielding variety of seeds in their fields to the extent they should do.
Facilities like electricity and irrigation are generally not available to them.
Shifting Agriculture:
In this type of agriculture, first of all a piece of forest land is cleared by felling trees and burning of trunks and branches.
After the land is cleared, crops are grown for two to three years and then the land is abandoned as the fertility of the soil decreases.
The farmers then move to new areas and the process is repeated.
Dry paddy, maize, millets and vegetables are the crops commonly grown in this type of farming.
Plantation Agriculture:
Plantation farming is bush or tree farming. It was introduced by the British in the 19th century.
It is a single crop farming of rubber, tea, coffee, cocoa, spices, coconut and fruit crops like apples, grapes, oranges, etc.
It is capital intensive and demands good managerial ability, technical know-how, sophisticated machinery, fertilisers, irrigation, and transport facilities.
