(B) Intensive Subsistence Agriculture — this matches (IV) It is practiced dominantly in densely populated regions of monsoon Asia. Small farms and family labour are used intensively to feed many people.
(C) Dairy Farming — this matches (II) It is practised mainly near the urban and industrial centres. These centres give a nearby market for fresh milk and dairy products.
(D) Extensive Commercial Agriculture — this matches (III) It is characterized by the mechanization of all operations of cultivation from ploughing to harvesting. This is extensive commercial grain cultivation. The farms are very large, so machines do all the work.
NCERT (2026-27): “Primitive Subsistence Agriculture … Primitive subsistence agriculture or shifting cultivation is widely practised by many tribes in the tropics, especially in Africa, south and central America and south east Asia (Fig. 4.7).” “Intensive Subsistence Agriculture … This type of agriculture is largely found in densely populated regions of monsoon Asia.” “Extensive Commercial Grain Cultivation … Commercial grain cultivation is practised in the interior parts of semi-arid lands of the midlatitudes. Wheat is the principal crop, though other crops like corn, barley, oats and rye are also grown. The size of the farm is very large, therefore entire operations of cultivation from ploughing to harvesting are mechanised (Fig. 4.11).” “Dairy Farming … Dairy is the most advanced and efficient type of rearing of milch animals. … It is practised mainly near urban and industrial centres which provide neighbourhood market for fresh milk and dairy products.” |
