In this system, farmers cultivate crops mainly to meet the needs of their families, and only a small surplus is sold in local markets. The farms are generally small and fragmented, and farming activities are carried out using traditional methods with limited use of machinery and modern inputs. Family members contribute most of the labor, making it a labor-intensive farming system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Purpose<\/td><td>Family consumption and local sale<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Farm Size<\/td><td>Small and fragmented<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Labor<\/td><td>Mainly family labor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Technology<\/td><td>Traditional methods<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Machinery<\/td><td>Very limited use<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inputs<\/td><td>Low use of fertilizers and pesticides<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Major Crops<\/td><td>Cereals, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, sugarcane<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-shifting-agriculture\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Shifting_Agriculture\"><\/span>What is Shifting Agriculture?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shifting agriculture is a traditional farming practice mainly followed by tribal communities in forest regions. In this method, a patch of forest land is cleared by cutting and burning trees. Crops are cultivated on the land for two to three years until soil fertility declines. After that, the land is abandoned, and farmers move to another area for cultivation. Due to its impact on forests and soil erosion, governments have discouraged this practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Aspect<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Method<\/td><td>Slash-and-burn cultivation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Practiced By<\/td><td>Tribal communities<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Duration<\/td><td>2\u20133 years on one plot<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Major Crops<\/td><td>Dry paddy, maize, millets, vegetables<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Environmental Impact<\/td><td>Causes soil erosion and deforestation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local Name in Assam<\/td><td>Jhum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local Name in Kerala<\/td><td>Ponam<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local Name in Andhra Pradesh<\/td><td>Podu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local Name in Odisha<\/td><td>Podu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Local Name in Madhya Pradesh<\/td><td>Bewar, Masha, Penda, Bera<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/esi-and-ard-practice-questions\/?ref=contac-nabard-ard-tfpq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Also Attempt NABARD Grade A ESI and ARD Free Quiz<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-intensive-farming\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Intensive_Farming\"><\/span>What is Intensive Farming?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Intensive farming is a modern agricultural system that aims to achieve maximum production from a limited area of land. Farmers use large amounts of labor, capital, fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation facilities, and high-yielding variety seeds to increase productivity. This farming method often allows cultivation of more than one crop in a year and produces high yields per hectare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maximum production from limited land.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High use of labor and capital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple cropping possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heavy use of irrigation facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-yielding variety seeds are used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High output per unit of land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-extensive-farming\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Extensive_Farming\"><\/span>What is Extensive Farming?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Extensive farming is practiced on large agricultural lands where labor and capital investment per hectare are comparatively low. Modern machines perform most farming operations, making it a highly mechanized farming system.
