This document summarizes different types of agriculture. It discusses subsistence farming, which is done for family needs using low technology. This includes intensive subsistence farming, using more tools and labor for crops like rice. It also discusses shifting cultivation practiced in forested areas, nomadic herding in dry regions, and commercial farming including grain, mixed, and plantation agriculture. Major crops grown in India include rice, wheat, and cotton to meet population needs. Dairy farming and small scale manufacturing are also discussed as livelihoods in Indian villages, along with the roles of shopkeepers and transport.
