This document summarizes different types of agriculture practiced in less developed countries, including shifting cultivation, pastoral nomadism, and intensive subsistence agriculture. Shifting cultivation involves clearing and burning plots of land for temporary agriculture before letting the land lie fallow. Pastoral nomadism involves herding livestock in dry areas. Intensive subsistence agriculture features small, intensively farmed plots used to grow crops like wet rice in Asia to feed families. The future of these agricultural systems is threatened by issues like population growth, urbanization, and commercialization.

3. Agriculture in Less Developed
Countries- Issue 2
• Shifting Cultivation/Slash & Burn
– Characteristics of shifting cultivation
• Practiced in humid low-latitude climates with high temps. and much
rainfall. Amazon in S. America, S. & West Africa, Southeast Asia,
Indochina, Indonesia and New Guinea are locations for it.
• Farmers “slash & burn” local plant life and debris to enrich the soil.
The swidden is used only for a few years until the soil is depleted,
then they leave it fallow for years before returning.
• The garden is usually group owned. Plants are aligned in circles. A
variety of crops are planted. Crops are maintained by hand.
– Future of shifting cultivation
• Shifting cultivation is being replaced by logging, ranching, and the
cultivation of cash crops.

5. Agriculture in LDCs- Issue 2
• Pastoral nomadism
– Characteristics of pastoral nomadism
• It is a type of agriculture based on the herding of domesticated
animals. It is adapted to dry climates where planting crops is
impossible. Lands include North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of
Central Asia.
• Camels, sheep and goats are common. Transhumance, the
seasonal migration between mountains and lowland pasture, is
common.
• Animals provide milk, which can be made into yogurts and cheeses.
Skins provide clothing and tent cover.
• Herd size reflects wealth and prestige and animals are rarely
slaughtered.
• Trading for grain and other needs is common.
– Future of pastoral nomadism
• Modern communications and transportation has challenged the
trading that have been a part of nomadism. Governments have also
tried to settle nomadic groups.
7. Agriculture in LDCs- Issue 2
• Intensive subsistence agriculture
– The tern intensive implies that farmers must work more
intensively to subsist on a parcel of land.
– Intensive subsistence with wet rice dominant
• In East, South, and Southeast Asia farmers own several
fragmented plots, and they must produce enough to feed their
family. No space is wasted, paths are narrow.
• Fields are worked by family hands, with animal power for plow.
Seedlings are grown on dry land and then planted in the “paddy”
when they are ready. Terracing and double-cropping are
common.
– Intensive subsistence with wet rice not dominant
• Ag. in the interior of India and in northeast China is devoted to
crops other than wet rice.
• Wheat is the most common crop followed by Barley.
• Other “intense” characteristics apply. Crop rotation allows for
multiple crops a year.
8. Future of Intensive
Subsistence
• As plots get smaller (sharing with
family), it gets harder to feed the family
• With urbanization, more and more
people are leaving the farms and
moving to the cities for better (or
perceived better) economic
opportunities
10. Plantation Agriculture
• Commercial agriculture located in tropics and
subtropics—esp. Latin America, Africa and Asia
• Mostly owned by Europeans or North Americans and
grown for sale to MDC
• Specializes in one or two crops
• Examples: sugarcane, coffee, rubber, tobacco,
cocoa, jute, bananas, tea, coconuts, palm oil
• Workers are imported—work is spread evenly
throughout the year to make use of large labor force
(who are provided with food, housing and social
services)
