TYPES OF SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE INTENSIVE SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE A SMALL PARCEL OF LAND UTILIZED FOR MAXIMUM YIELD CONSIDERABLE USE OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL LABOUR PEASANTS – FAMILY LABOR

TYPES OF SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE OTEN ‘TRADITIONAL’ TOOLS (E.G. PLOW)

SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE HEAVY USE OF MANURE/FERTILIZER

SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE INTENSIVE USE OF HILL-SLOPES

SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE DOUBLE CROPPING IN SOME PLACES CAN SUPPORT LARGE POPULATIONS PARTLY REFLECTS HIGH POPULATION DENSITIES RICE AND OTHER GRAINS DOMINATE

SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE PASTORALISM BREEDING AND HERDING OF ANIMALS USUALLY IN DESERTS, GRASSLANDS AND LIGHTLY WOODED GRASSY PLAINS PARTS OF AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST AND CENTRAL ASIA.

SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE TWO VARIANTS: SEDENTARY PASTORALISM AND NOMADIC GRAZING OF CATTLE, SHEEP, GOATS, CAMELS, ETC.
