Answer» Thank you | Subsistence Agriculture | Commercial Farming | \t\t\t• Subsistence agriculture is practised on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like dao, hoe and digging sticks.• Commercial farming is done on large scale with the use of huge doses of modern inputs e.g. HYV seeds, chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides.• Farmer and Lis family produce cereals for themselves and for the local market. It is labour intensive where most of the activities are done by family/community labour.• Crops are grown with a view to export them to other countries. It is capital intensive where much of the work is done with the help of machines.• It is practised in thickly populated areas.• It is practised in sparsely populated areas.• Cereals like wheat, rice, millets are mainly raised.• Coffee, cotton, sugarcane etc are mainly raised.\t|
