Answer the following question.
Compare 'intensive subsistence farming' with that of 'commercial farming' practiced in India.
उत्तर
Intensive subsistence farming :
- Practiced in areas of high population pressure on land.
- Modern machinery is used
- Labour intensive farming
- Artificial irrigation is used
- high doses of biochemical inputs and irrigation are used for obtaining higher production. Higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides.
Commercial agriculture is large-scale production of crops for sale, intended for widespread distribution to wholesalers or retail outlets. In commercial farming crops such as wheat, maize, tea, coffee, sugarcane, cashew, rubber, banana, cotton are harvested and sold into world markets.
commercial farming is most commonly found in advanced industrialized nations. The harvested crop may be processed on-site (or shipped to a processing facility belonging to the farm owners) and then sold to a wholesaler as a complete product, or it may be sold as-is for further processing elsewhere.
