Unit 5
The document provides information on agrarian spaces and activities in the primary sector. It defines agrarian spaces as land where agrarian activities like agriculture, livestock farming, and silviculture take place. Agrarian activities are influenced by natural factors like climate, soil type, and relief, as well as human factors such as technology, population levels, and economic organization. The types of agrarian landscapes and activities can vary significantly based on these influencing factors.
Unit 2 - The Primary Sector (ppt)
Physical factors like climate, relief of the land, and soil characteristics as well as human factors such as population size, technology, and social organization determine the development of agrarian activities. Traditional agriculture includes migratory or slash-and-burn agriculture, sedentary dryland agriculture, and irrigated monsoon agriculture which differ in their field and crop characteristics as well as use of land and water. Livestock farming can also take different forms from nomadic to intensive industrial systems.
Unit 2 - The Primary Sector (ppt)
The document outlines various factors that determine the development of agrarian (farming) activities. Physical factors include climate, relief of the land, and soil characteristics. Human factors involve demographic pressure, technological development, and economic/social organization such as land ownership. Different types of traditional agriculture are described based on crop varieties, soil and water use, technology level, and whether the purpose is subsistence or market-oriented. Extensive and intensive livestock farming systems as well as industrial and ecological systems are also summarized.
Desertification
The document discusses desertification, including its causes and strategies to deal with the problem. Desertification is the process by which land turns to desert, caused by both natural and human factors. Unsustainable human land uses like arable farming, cattle farming, and cash cropping can lead to overgrazing, overcultivation, and soil erosion, turning the land into desert. The Sahel region of Africa is a case study of this issue, as climate change and increased population have exacerbated problems from commercial agriculture and caused desertification. Proposed strategies to address desertification include water conservation techniques, controlled grazing, shelter belts, education, reforestation, and strip farming.

Agriculture
This document discusses different types of agriculture and major crops around the world. It begins by outlining factors that influence agriculture like climate, soil, and relief. It then describes various types of farming including subsistence, commercial, shifting cultivation, intensive subsistence, nomadic herding, extensive, plantation, mixed, pastoral, dairy, orchard, market gardening, horticulture, and pastoral farming. Specific crops and countries are provided for each type. Major crops discussed include rice, wheat, maize, millets, sugarcane, rubber, cotton, jute, tea, and coffee. Requirements for optimal growth of each crop are also summarized.
Intensive and extensive farming
This document compares and contrasts intensive and extensive farming. Intensive farming uses high amounts of inputs like capital, labor, pesticides, and fertilizers on small areas of land to achieve very high outputs. It is characterized by large numbers of animals raised in confined spaces. Extensive farming uses low inputs on large areas of land, as seen with grazing of animals on grasslands. While intensive farming yields more per hectare, extensive farming requires less labor per unit area. Both approaches have environmental impacts and trade-offs between productivity and resource use.

Intensive and Extensive Farming
Intensive farming is characterized by high inputs of capital, labor, and chemicals per unit of land to achieve high crop yields. It uses advanced technologies and machines to be efficient. Intensive farming occurs on small plots of land but aims for very high output. It has advantages like high crop yields and lower food prices but disadvantages like pollution, soil erosion, and negative health effects from excessive chemical use. Extensive farming uses low inputs per unit of land and is common in low-productivity grazing areas. It requires large land areas but less labor input and has benefits like improved animal welfare and lower input requirements. Yields are generally lower compared to intensive methods.

Evergreen Agriculture in the Sahel provides an overview of challenges and opportunities for sustainable land management in the drylands of Africa. The Sahel region faces issues like fragile environments, poor farming practices, and overstocking grazing areas. However, there are promising innovations like Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration, rehabilitation of degraded lands, and integrated water management. Upscaling these practices through farmer empowerment, identifying success stories, and promoting cross-village learning can help regenerate degraded lands, restore soil fertility, and enhance food security in the drylands of Africa.
Dry land agriulture
Dryland agriculture refers to cultivation without irrigation in areas receiving between 500-1200 mm of rainfall annually. It is important for India's economy as it produces many coarse grains, pulses, oilseeds, and cotton. Dryland agriculture is categorized based on annual rainfall into dry farming (<750 mm), dryland farming (750-1150 mm), and rainfed farming (>1150 mm). Key challenges include moisture stress, limited water storage, marketing difficulties for dryland crops, and restrictions on crop selection.
Chapter 7 powerpoint
Agricultural systems can be analyzed as inputs, processes, and outputs. There are different types of farming systems including arable, pastoral, and mixed farming as well as subsistence and commercial farming. Extensive farming uses large areas of land with low inputs of labor and capital to produce low yields, while intensive farming uses high inputs on small areas of land to achieve high yields. Organic farming avoids chemical inputs while non-organic or conventional farming utilizes synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and other inputs.

Agriculture involves the active production of plants and animals in human-created ecosystems. It includes cultivating soil, growing and harvesting crops, and raising livestock. Agriculture developed independently in many places around the world starting around 14,500-12,000 years ago. Early domesticated crops include barley in the Middle East, millet in China, and squash in the Americas. Domesticated livestock developed during this same period, although dogs were domesticated earlier. Agriculture can be viewed as a farming system involving inputs like seeds, fertilizers, machinery and labor and outputs like crops, wool, dairy and poultry products.
