Study Notes
Major Types of Farming
- Farming activities are categorized into four main groups: intensive, extensive, arable, and pastoral.
- Intensive farming uses high levels of inputs and labor to maximize output per unit land area. Farms are typically small.
- Extensive farming uses lower inputs per area of land and focuses on larger farm areas, producing lower outputs per unit land. Farms are typically large.
- Arable farming focuses on growing crops.
- Pastoral farming focuses on rearing livestock.
- Mixed farming combines crop production and livestock rearing.
- Subsistence farming produces enough food to feed the farmer's family.
- Commercial farming produces food for sale.
- High-technology farming uses advanced technologies to enhance crop yield
- Low-technology farming uses simple traditional methods of farming.
Criteria for Classifying Farming
