What is the meaning of truck-farming? Describe its main features.

Answer»

Truck – farming is a specialised form of agriculture in which vegetables are grown. The vegetables and other agricultural products are sold in nearby urban markets by transporting them daily by trucks. Distance between farms and markets are defined by the distance travelled by a truck in one night of travel, hence its name is truck farming.

The main features of truck farming are:

1. This type of agriculture is done very close to urban areas. 

2. Only vegetables are cultivated under this agriculture. 

3. The vegetarian population motivates truck agriculture.
