Types of farming: subsistence (personal consumption), commercial (for profit), organic (no synthetic inputs), aquaculture (aquatic organisms), and pastoral (livestock grazing).
Involves raising cattle for milk production, often with specialised breeds and facilities. Milk and dairy products are the primary outputs, contributing to nutrition and industries.
This type of farming is focused on profit, and it employs modern techniques and large-scale operations to cultivate crops or raise livestock for market sale, supplying food and resources.
Concentrated in tropical regions, it involves large-scale cultivation of cash crops like tea, coffee, and rubber on estates, often tied to historical colonial systems.
Emphasises growing grain crops such as wheat, corn, or rice for sale, utilising modern technology and practices to maximise yields and contribute to the global food supply.
Integrates crop cultivation and livestock raising on the same farm, optimising resource utilisation, waste recycling, and diversifying income sources for sustainable productivity.
