Agricultural Management

  Dairy Farming : dairying, also called dairy farming, branch of agriculture that encompasses the breeding, raising, and utilization of dairy animals, primarily cows, for the production of milk and the various dairy products processed from it Plantation farming : is the practice of clearing a large parcel of forest land and planting the desired crops in huge numbers on the cleared land. This type of farming helps in increasing the production of the desired produce and makes it easier to control the cultivation. A plantation is a large piece of land, especially in a tropical country, where crops such as rubber, coffee, tea, or sugar are grown banana plantations in Costa Rica. A plantation is a large number of trees that have been planted together. Commercial grain farming : the production of crops and farm animals for sale, usually with the use of modern technology: commercial farming methods Extensive agriculture , also known as commercial grain farming, involves cultivating ...

  Improve Farming Productivity Implementations of land reforms for improving the production, land reforms are the first and predominant point. Interplant,  Plant more densely,  Plant many crops. Raised beds,  Smart water management,  Heat Tolerant Varieties. Use nitrogen. Sustainable agriculture practices Rotating crops and embracing diversity Planting cover crops and perennials Reducing or eliminating tillage Applying integrated pest management (IPM) Integrating livestock and crops Adopting agroforestry practices Managing whole systems and landscapes

  In intensive subsistence agriculture, the farmer cultivates a small plot of land using simple tools and more labor. Subsistence agriculture is the type of farming in which crops grown are consumed by the grower and his family. It is of different types. Wheat, soybeans, and barley are majorly grown intensively in subsistence farms of northern parts of china, japan, and Korea and also parts of India like Punjab. In areas where rainfall is not adequate, food crops like millet are grown. Advantages of intensive subsistence: It produces vegetables, fruits, beef, meat, eggs; milk prices are more economical compare to traditional farming, because it produces food in large quantities and requires less space. Intensive subsistence agriculture also helped in solving the scarcity of food by producing a good amount. One of the major advantages of this farming technique is that the crop yield is high, it helps the farmer to easily supervise and monitor the land and protect his livestock...

  Advantages  of Subsistence Agriculture: Subsistence agriculture provides organized food for the family. In most of the families in the rural areas, for example, the main food source is the individual farms of the people Fertility of Soil will never be deteriorated; rather it will be restored by subsistence Agriculture. Inter-cropping system is possible and 3-4 crops are being produced. No need of more water and no need of fertilizer. Nutritional contents are more and the Medicinal value is enough with the crops. Disadvantage of Subsistence Agriculture: The disadvantages of subsistence agriculture are that it experiences low yields and it requires a lot of effort. It experiences low yields because it does not use things like fertilizers which improve soil productivity and it does not use things like pesticides that improve yield retention. Burning destroys soil organisms. Burning alters soil structure. Farm sizes are small and may not support large families/commun...

  Pollution Agriculture is the leading source of pollution in many countries. Pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil. They also can remain in the environment for generations In order to keep feeding people as the population grows you have to radically change the environment of the place Disadvantages of using modern farming methods are: Modern farming methods have overused the natural resource base. Increased use of fertilizers has led to the loss of soil fertility. The use of groundwater for tube well irrigation has led to water depletion. Modern farming methods require a great deal of capital. Deforestation Intensive farming causes soil degradation and leads to the expansion of new lands. Pest and weed resistance to chemicals Soil degradation Impact on natural habitats Water pollution Climate change

  Agriculture can help reduce poverty, raise incomes and improve food security for 80% of the world's poor, who live in rural areas and work mainly in farming. The World Bank Group is a leading financier of agriculture. Controllable food supply you might have droughts or floods, but if you're growing the crops and breeding them to be hardier, you have a better chance of not starving. Even the old farming method few traditional farming methods are still in use and are popular. Farmers provide cultural and ecological services to human beings by these methods. The traditional method has helped in protecting natural resources, biodiversity maintenance, and enhanced food security.   Advantages of Modern Farming Make farming easier and faster. Give the highest yield. Ensure that a large area of land can be cultivated. Reduce cost of food items in the market. Saves time and energy. Ensures meat availability in the market. Offers job opportunities for applicants ...

  To us farmers, Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets. Agriculture provides most of the world's food and fabrics. Also the managers take care of the day-to-day operations of one or more farms, ranches, nurseries, timber tracts, greenhouses, and other agricultural establishments for corporations, farmers, and owners who do not live and work on their farm or ranch. Oversee all aspects of running farms and other facilities that produce crops. Some of their duties include planning, supervising, and sometimes participating in the planting, fertilization, and harvesting process.
