In regions far flung from markets and ill-equipped with transportation facilities commercial farming is a remote possi­bility. The term ‘truck farming’ bears the unmistakable influence of transportation facilities on agriculture.

Labour supply determines the character of agriculture. Intensive agriculture is essentially labour-intensive and exemplifies the human pressure on land.
