Primary Activities
1. Areas of subsistence gathering
Subsistence gathering is practiced in the areas of High latitude zones and Low latitude zones.
(i) High latitude zones
which include northern Canada, northern Eurasia and southern Chile;
2. Nomadic Herding
Nomadic herding or
pastoral nomadism is a primitive subsistence activity, in which the herders
rely on animals for food, clothing, shelter, tools and transport. They move
from one place to another along with their livestock, depending on the amount
and quality of pastures and water. Each nomadic community occupies a well-identified
territory as a matter of tradition.
The Atlantic shores of
North Africa eastwards across the Arabian peninsula
Mongolia and Central China
The tundra region of
Eurasia
South-west Africa
The island of Madagascar
3. Major areas of commercial livestock rearing
Unlike
nomadic herding, commercial livestock rearing is more organised and capital
intensive. Commercial
livestock ranching is essentially associated with western cultures and is
practised on
permanent ranches. These ranches cover large areas and are divided into a
number of parcels,
which are fenced to regulate the grazing. When the grass of one parcel is
grazed, animals are moved
to another parcel.
New Zealand
Australia
Argentina and Uruguay
United States of America
4. Major areas of extensive commercial grain farming
Commercial grain cultivation is practiced in the interior
parts of semi-arid lands of the multitudes. 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 mechanized . There is low yield per acre but high
yield per person.Combine crews are capable of harvesting grain over many hectares
in a single day.
The Eurasian steppes
The Canadian and American
Prairies
The Pampas of Argentina
The Velds of South Africa
The Australian Downs
The Canterbury Plains of
New Zealand
5. Major areas of mixed farming of the World
This form of agriculture
is found in the highly developed parts of the world, e.g. North-western Europe,
Eastern North America, parts of Eurasia and the temperate latitudes of Southern
continents . Mixed farms are moderate
in size and usually the crops associated with it are wheat, barley, oats, rye,
maize, fodder and root crops. Fodder crops are an important component of mixed
farming. Crop rotation and
intercropping play an important role in maintaining soil fertility. Equal emphasis is laid on crop cultivation and
animal husbandry.
North-western Europe
Eastern North America
Parts of Eurasia
The temperate latitudes of
Southern continents
