Double cropping

Harvesting twice a year from the same field. - Usually in: 1. Taiwan 2. Southern China

intensive subsistence agriculture (With example

When developing countries work hard on a small piece of land to get as much food as possible. - use hands and simple tools to grow crops efficiently in small spaces. - Example: Wet rice dominant (East Asia and South Asia) - Those who struggle to grow wet rice: India

Agribusiness

agriculture conducted on commercial principles (Produce and sell) especially using advanced technology.

Mediterranean (Agri. Regions in Developed countries)

almost or completely surrounded by land usually in: 1. The Mediterranean Sea 2. The western U.S 3. he southern tip of Africa 4. Chile

Mixed Crop and livestock (Agri. Regions in Developed countries)

both animal and crops are farmed in the same area, it's helpful because farmers could distribute the workload more evenly through the year - Usually in: 1. The U.S Midwest 2. Central Europe

Ranching

farming for the raising of livestock (particularly cattle)

Dairy (Agri. Regions in Developed countries)

food made from milk - Usually in: 1. Northeastern U.S 2. Southeastern Canada 3. Northwestern Europe

Pastoral nomadism

Milk shed

"ring" surrounding a city from which milk can be supplied without spoiling

Winter feed

need to feed cows in the winter when there is no grazing (ex. Grass) to feed on

Seed of a cereal grass - Usually in: 1. North central U.S 2. South Central Canada 3. Eastern Europe

Horticulture

The growing of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

Transhumance

The movements of livestock according to seasonal patterns: lowland areas: winter highland areas: summer.

Crop rotation

The planting of different crops in a field each year to maintain the soil's fertility.

The practice of growing the same single crop year after year

Livestock Ranching (Agri. Regions in Developed countries)

The raising of domesticated animals for the production of meat and other byproducts such as leather and wool. - Usually in: 1. Drylands of Western North America 2. Southeastern Latin America 3. Central Asia 4. Sub Saharan Africa 5. South Pacific
