What is subsistence agriculture? Describe any four salient features of intensive subsistence agriculture practiced in the world.
Subsistence agriculture is one in which the farming areas consume all, or nearly so, of the products locally grown.
Features of intensive subsistence agriculture:
(i) Intensive subsistence agriculture dominated by wet paddy cultivation: This type of agriculture is characterised by dominance of the rice crop.
(ii) Land holdings are very small due to the high density of population. Farmers work with the help of family labour leading to intensive use of land.
(iii) Intensive subsidence agriculture dominated by crops other than paddy: Due to the difference in relief, climate, soil and some of the other geographical factors.
(iv) it is not practical to grow paddy in many parts of monsoon Asia.
