Question:
Intensive Subsistence agriculture is found in which of the following areas?
Options:
India
North Japan
North Korea
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
Intensive Subsistence Agriculture: This type of agriculture is largely found in densely populated regions of monsoon Asia. Due to the difference in relief, climate, soil and some of the other geographical factors, it is not practical to grow paddy in many parts of monsoon Asia. Wheat, soyabean, barley and sorghum are grown in northern China, Manchuria, North Korea and North Japan. In India wheat is grown in western parts of the Indo-Gangetic plains and millets are grown in dry parts of western and southern India. Most of the characteristics of this type of agriculture are similar to those dominated by wet paddy except that irrigation is often used.
