Study Notes
Livestock Farming
- Livestock farming can be extensive, with animals reared in large open-air fields, requiring minimal investment in labor and capital.
- Intensive livestock farming involves housing animals in barns, requiring high investment in buildings, breed selection, feeding technology, and veterinary care.
- Traditional livestock farming can be nomadic, where livestock is continuously moved for fresh pastures, or it can be seasonal, where livestock is moved between summer and winter pastures.
- Industrial livestock farming aims for maximum yield, using intensive methods with genetically selected animals, artificial feed, and mechanization.
- Organic livestock farming respects the environment and animal welfare, using semi-extensive systems with no artificial feed or growth stimulants.
Forestry
- The main use of forests is to obtain wood for various purposes like building and furniture making.
- Forests are important environmental resources, playing roles in CO2 absorption, humidity regulation, soil erosion protection, and biodiversity conservation.
- Deforestation is a serious problem related to the uncontrolled exploitation of forests.
Agriculture
- Cultivation methods are classified based on crop varieties, water supply, soil use, and degree of land use.
- Monoculture focuses on maximizing productivity by growing one crop in a field, while polyculture involves growing various crops.
- Dryland crops rely solely on rainwater while irrigated crops are provided with additional water from rivers, wells, and springs.
- Intensive farming maximizes land use with modern techniques while extensive agriculture leaves parts of the land unplanted.
- Traditional agriculture is used for self-consumption and is also known as subsistence farming.
- Modern agriculture aims for market production, categorized into industrial agriculture for mass production and organic farming for environmentally conscious practices.
