  1. Where Are Agricultural Regions in LDCs? C10K2

  2. Objectives • Shifting Cultivation • Pastoral Nomadism • Intensive Subsistence Agriculture • Plantation Farming

  3. Shifting Cultivation? • Where? Practiced in Humid Low-Latitude (high temps & abundant rainfall) South America, Central/West Africa, & SE Asia • Characteristics:lash & burn agriculture or notching & swidden(small villages) • 3 yr life span • Crops: rice, maize, cassava, millet, sorghum, yams, sugarcane, plantain

  4. Ownership of Land in Shifting • Who? Owned by the villages/ villagers designated patches of land. • Future of Shifting Cultivation: tropics are be deforested to make way for logging, ranching, & cash crops. • Critics: 1) commercial farming causes irreversible damage 2) global warming 3) upsets traditional cultures

  5. Pastoral Nomadism • What? Is a form of subsistence agriculture based on the herding of domesticated animals • Where? Dry climates that lack agriculture, SW Asia, N. Africa • Uses? Provide milk, skins/ hair for clothing and tents • Economics: size of their herd measurements of wealth and prestige, trade with subsistence farmers for grain, vegetables, fruits.

  6. Migration & the Future of Pastoralist • Territorial and based on access to water. transhumance: seasonal migration btw mountains & lowland pastures • Future: declining form of agriculture bc of secondary role of traders is less prominent. • Conflict: Governments want their lands.

  7. Intensive Subsistence Agriculture • Where? In densely pop. Areas, farmers must work intensively to subsist on a parcel of land • Inheritance & Space? Ratio of farmers to the land is high • wet rice dominates: small % of land but large yields.

  8. How is Rice Made?

  9. How Rice is Grown

  10. Other Rice Terms • Sawah/ paddy: field where rice is grown • Husks or chaff is where the rice seedlings are • Threshing: process of of separating the heavier chaff from seedling. • Winnowed is the remaining chaff being removed • Hull is a rice’s outer covering • Double cropping: 2 crops in one year

  11. Intensive Subsistence:other than Rice • Crops? Wheat, barley, corn, oats, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, hemp, tobacco • Where? Dry colder climates (India’s interior & Northeast China • Crop rotation to prevent exhaustion of soil • Pros/Cons of communal vs privatization

  12. Plantation Farming • Where? Topics & subtropics of LDCs but owned & operated by MDCs • Purpose? Commercial use: cotton, sugarcane, coffee, rubber, tobacco, fruits and vegetables. • Labor? Imported workers • Economy of the South prior to Civil War
