- Munna Lal is a small farmer in Adilabad village in India with 1.5 hectares of land.
- He grows at least two crops per year like wheat, rice, and pulses using high yielding seed varieties purchased from the market.
- While some farmers still use bullocks, Munna Lal rents a tractor for ploughing. He also rents a tubewell for irrigation.
- In addition to crops, he raises a few buffaloes and hens, selling their milk and eggs through a cooperative store. The cooperative advises him on animal fodder and health.
Intensive subsistence farming is characterized by high output per unit of land but low output per worker. It is best developed in the monsoon lands of Asia, including China, Japan, India, and parts of Southeast Asia. Farming must be very intensive to support the high population densities in these regions, with small plots of land sometimes supporting 5-10 times as many people as similar plots in the US. Farming is intensive, utilizing all available land through double- or triple-cropping of rice or other crops like wheat. It relies heavily on manual labor and organic fertilizers to maintain high yields. Rice is the dominant crop where conditions allow, though other grains like wheat or millet are grown depending on local conditions.

India is an agriculturally important country where two-thirds of the population is engaged in agricultural activities. Agriculture is the primary activity and major producer of food in India. The country has three cropping seasons - Rabi, Kharif, and Zaid. Some key crops produced are rice, wheat, jute, sugarcane, tea, coffee, cotton, pulses, millets and oilseeds. Major agricultural regions are identified based on soil type and climate conditions required for different crops.
The document discusses different types of economic activities - primary, secondary and tertiary. It focuses on agriculture as a primary activity. It describes how farmers grow crops and raise livestock. It also discusses different types of farming including subsistence, commercial, shifting cultivation and nomadic herding. The document outlines several major crops grown around the world like rice, wheat, maize, millets, cotton, jute, coffee and tea. It concludes with a brief discussion on agricultural development and efforts to increase farm production.
1) Agriculture involves three types of economic activities - primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary activities include agriculture and extraction of natural resources. Secondary activities process primary resources through manufacturing. Tertiary activities provide support services.
2) There are two main types of farming - subsistence and commercial. Subsistence farming meets family needs, while commercial farming grows crops for market sale.
3) Major global food crops include wheat, rice, maize, and millets. Cash crops include cotton, coffee, tea, sugarcane, and jute.
This document discusses different types of agriculture. It defines agriculture as the cultivation of crops and rearing of livestock. There are two main types of farming: subsistence farming which focuses on producing only for family needs with minimal technology, and commercial farming which uses more technology and machinery to grow crops and raise animals for market sale. The document also outlines different sub-types of subsistence farming such as intensive subsistence, shifting cultivation, and nomadic herding, as well as commercial farming approaches like commercial grain, mixed, and plantation agriculture.
India practices several types of farming including subsistence, intensive subsistence, and commercial farming. Agriculture is the largest economic sector and employer in India. The government has taken steps to reform agriculture through initiatives like the Green Revolution, providing credit and insurance to farmers, and setting minimum crop prices. Vinoba Bhave led a land reform movement in the 1950s called Bhoodan-Gramdan that saw some landowners voluntarily distribute land to landless farmers.

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.
Agriculture is the primary economic activity in India that produces most of the country's food. The types of agriculture practiced in India vary widely from subsistence farming on small plots of land to intensive commercial farming. Major crops grown in India include rice, wheat, millet, pulses, sugarcane, cotton, jute, tea, coffee, rubber, and various oilseeds. Farming techniques have evolved significantly over the years based on environmental and technological factors.
Agriculture involves the cultivation of plants and animals for food, fiber, and other products. It is one of the most important economic activities globally. In India, around 75% of the population depends on agriculture. Key factors that affect farming include physical factors like temperature, soil type, and precipitation as well as cultural factors such as land ownership systems and economic factors like transportation infrastructure. Major crops grown worldwide include cereals like rice, wheat, millets, and maize as well as fibers like cotton and jute. Rice is the primary food crop in tropical regions while wheat thrives in temperate areas.
This document provides an overview of agriculture and different types of agricultural systems. It discusses primary, secondary and tertiary economic activities as they relate to agriculture. Agriculture involves growing crops and rearing livestock. There are two main types of farming: subsistence farming, which meets the needs of the farmer's family, and commercial farming, which grows crops and raises livestock to sell for profit. The document also outlines different agricultural practices around the world like shifting cultivation, nomadic herding, plantations, and mixed farming. It provides examples of major crops grown in India and discusses agricultural development.
India practices several different types of farming depending on factors like environment, technology, and culture. The main types discussed are primitive subsistence farming, intensive subsistence farming, and commercial farming. Agriculture is the largest economic sector in India and employs over half the workforce. The government has taken steps to reform agriculture through initiatives like the Green Revolution and providing loans and insurance to farmers.

hello everyone
here i am going to upload ppt on Agriculture in India chapter '4' from CBSE Geography Class 10
Two-thirds of India’s population is engaged in agricultural activities. Agriculture is a primary activity, which produces most of the food raw material for various industries.
In this presentation of Agriculture, I have studied the various types of farming, cropping patterns , major crops grown in India, crops of our own town or District 'Jalpaiguri' (it can be edited), In the end. I have added slides about reforms and impact of globalisation .
The document discusses different types of agriculture practiced in India. It describes primitive subsistence farming, intensive subsistence farming, commercial farming, and plantation farming. It also discusses major crops grown in India like rice, millets, cotton, and coffee. Agricultural development aims to increase farm production to meet population growth through expanding cropped area, irrigation, use of fertilizers and high-yielding seeds, and farm mechanization. The ultimate goal is increased food security. Farming in India has a long history and India ranks second worldwide in agricultural output. In the US, agriculture is a major industry and the country exports food, with over 2 million farms covering over 900 million acres.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT.

Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

2. AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is a primary activity. It
includes growing crops, fruits,
vegetables, flowers and rearing of
livestock. In the world, 50 per cent of
persons are engaged in agriculture.
Favorable topography of soil and climate
are vital for agriculture activity. The land
on which the crops are grown is known
as arable.
3. FARM SYSTEM
Agriculture or farming can be looked at as a system. The
important inputs are seeds, fertilisers, machinery and labour.
Some of the operations involved are ploughing, sowing,
irrigation, weeding and harvesting. The outputs from the
system include crops, wool, dairy and poultry products
4. TYPES OF FARMING
Farming is practised in various ways across the world.
Depending upon the geographical conditions, demand of
produce, labour and level of technology, farming can be
classified into two main types. These are subsistence
farming and commercial farming.
a) Subsistence Farming
This type of farming is practised to meet the needs of the
farmer’s family. Traditionally, low levels of technology
and household labour are used to produce on small output.
Subsistence farming can be further classified as intensive
subsistence and primitive subsistence.
5. i) Intensive subsistence agriculture
In which the farmer cultivates a small plot
of land using simple tools and more
labour. Rice is the main crop. Other crops
include wheat, maize, pulses and oilseeds.
ii) Primitive subsistence agriculture
It includes shifting cultivation and
nomadic herding.
6. a) shifting cultivation:
It is practised in the thickly forest areas of Amozon
basin, tropical Africa, parts of southeast Asia and
Northeast India. These are the areas of heavy rainfall
and quick regeneration of vegetation. A plot of land is
cleared by felling the trees a d burning them. The ashes
are the mixed with the soil and crops like maize, yam,
potatoes and cassava are grown. After the soil loses its
fertility, the land is abondoned and the cultivator moves
to a new plot. Shifting cultivation is also known as
‘slash and burn’ agriculture.
7. b) Nomadic herding:
It is practiced in the semi-arid and arid regions of Sahara,
Central Asia and some part of India, like Rajasthan and
Jammu and Kashmir. In this type of farming, herdsmen
move from place to place with their animals for fodder
and water, along defined routes. This type of movement
arises in response to climatic constraints and terrain.
Seep, camel, yak and goats are most commonly rears.
They provide milk, meat, wool, hides and other products
to the herders and their families.
8. b) Commercial Farming
In commercial farming crops are grown and
animals are reared for sale in market. The area
cultivated and the amount of capital used is large.
Most of the work is done by machines.
Commercial farming includes commercial grain
farming, mixed farming and plantation
agriculture.
9. i) Commercial grain farming: In commercial
grain farming crops are grown for commercial
purpose. Wheat and maize are common
commercially grown grains.
ii) Mixed farming: In mixed farming the land is
used for growing food and fodder crops and
rearing livestock.
iii) Plantations: Plantations are a type of
commercial farming where single crops of tea,
coffee, sugarcane, cashew, rubber, banana or
cotton are grown.
10. Major Crops
A large variety of crops are grown to meet the
requirement of the growing population. Crops also
supply raw material for agro based industries. Major
food crops are wheat, rice, maize and millets. Jute
and cotton are fiber crops. Important beverage crops
are tea and coffee.
Rice: Rice is the major food crop of the world. It is
the staple diet of the tropical and sub-tropical
regions. Rice needs high temperature, high humidity
and rainfall.
11. Wheat: Wheat requires moderate temperature and rainfall during
growing season and bring sunshine at the time of harvest. Wheat
is grown extensively in USA, Canada, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine,
Australia and India. In india it is grown in winter.
Millets: They are also known as coarse grains and can be grown
on less fertile and sandy soils. It is a hardy crop that needs low
rainfall and high to moderate temperature and adequate rainfall.
Jowar, bajra and ragi are grown in India. Other countries are
Nigeria, China and Niger.
Maize : Maize requires moderate temperature, rainfall and lots of
sunshine. It needs well-drained fertile soils. Maize is grown in
North America, Brazil, China, Russia, Canada, India, and Mexico.
12. Cotton: Cotton requires high temperature, light rainfall, two
hundred and ten forst-free days and bright sunshine for its
growth. It grows best on black and alluvial soils. China, USA, India,
Pakistan, Brazil and Eygpt are the leading producers of cotton. It is
one of the main raw materials for the cotton textile industry.
Jute : Jute was also known as the ‘Golden Fibre’. It grows well on
alluvial soil and requires high temperature, heavy rainfall and
humid climate . This crop is grown in tropical areas. India and
Bangladesh are the leading producers of jute.
Coffee: coffee requires warm and wet climate and well- drained
loamy soil. Hill slopes are more suitable for growth of this crop.
Brazil is the leading producers followed by Columbia and India.
13. Tea : tea is a beverage crop grown on plantations. This requires
cool climate and well distributed high rainfall throughout the year
for the growth of its tender leaves. It needs well drained loamy
soils and gentle slopes. Labour in large number is required to pick
the leaves. Kenya, India, China, Sri Lanka produce the best quality
tea in the world.
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Agricultural Development refers to efforts made to increase farm
production in order to meet the growing demand of increasing
population. This can be achieved in many ways such as increasing
the cropped area, the number of crops grown, improving
irrigation facilities, use of fertilizers and high yielding variety of
seeds. The ultimate aim of agricultural development is to increase
food security.
Agriculture has developed at different places in different
parts of the world. Developing countries with large populations
14. Usually practice intensive agriculture where crops are
grown on small holdings mostly for subsistence. Larger
holdings are more suitable for commercial agriculture as
in USA, Canada and Australia.
