What are the types of agricultural areas?

There are six main types of agricultural regions in the world: rice planting, pasture grazing, plantation agriculture, commodity grain agriculture, mixed agriculture and dairy industry.

1. Migratory agriculture is an ancient and primitive mode of agricultural production. There is no fixed farmland in this farming mode, and the cultivated land is selected in areas with dense forests and grasslands. Farmers cleared a piece of land in the forest through logging and burning, and planted crops in the original way.

2. Monsoon paddy field agriculture is a unique agricultural type in tropical and subtropical humid areas. Mainly concentrated in the monsoon areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia and the tropical rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. Monsoon paddy field agriculture is an intensive agriculture that needs to invest a lot of labor.

3. Plantation agriculture is a large-scale intensive commodity agriculture that grows a single cash crop in tropical areas, which is widely distributed in Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

4. Commodity grain agriculture is the main regional type of producing commodity grain in the world, and it is a market-oriented agricultural type. The crops planted are mainly wheat and corn.

5. Grassland animal husbandry is an agricultural regional type of large-scale commodity animal husbandry production. This kind of agriculture is often distributed in arid and semi-arid climate areas, with a vast land and a sparse population, and the surface is dominated by grassland vegetation, thus forming an agricultural regional type of grazing in large pastures.

6. Dairy industry is a market-oriented agricultural regional type formed with the development of the city, and its production target is dairy cows; Products are mainly milk and its products, such as milk powder, butter and cheese. The distance of the market and the supply of feed are two important factors affecting dairy production.

7. Mixed agriculture is a regional agricultural production mode that organically combines planting and animal husbandry on the same farm.

8. Nomadic industry refers to self-sufficient agriculture which mainly grazes livestock, and it is a typical extensive agriculture. This mode of production is suitable for arid areas where agriculture is difficult to settle down.

9. Horticulture is a commercial agriculture that provides vegetables, fruits and flowers for cities. The rise and development of this kind of agriculture is related to the acceleration of urbanization in the modern world.

10. Grain-livestock agriculture is a combination of planting dry grain and raising livestock.

Immigrant agriculture: When the soil fertility of this land declines and plants can no longer grow, farmers give up this land to develop another land, so it is called immigrant agriculture, which is easy to cause soil erosion and destroy the ecological balance.

Rice cultivation in Asia has the following characteristics: first, small-scale peasant management; Second, the output per unit area is high but the commodity rate is low; Third, the level of mechanization is low; Fourth, a large number of water conservancy projects; Fifth, the level of technology is low. The solution is to increase investment in science and technology and appropriately expand the planting scale.

Although the production form of rubber farms in Hainan Island is similar to plantations, their nature, scale and management are quite different from plantations. Plantation agriculture is often engaged in large-scale production, and the park has a complete set of production and living facilities. Many plantations not only have agricultural and transportation machinery, but also have road systems, agricultural products processing plants, agricultural machinery repair shops, power and water supply, and educational and health facilities in the park.

Dairy owners in the world are mainly distributed around the Great Lakes of North America, Western Europe, Central Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and dairy industry has also developed around China's big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and the products are mainly fresh milk.

Mixed agriculture is mainly distributed in Europe, North America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Pond production in the Pearl River Delta of China is a new type of mixed agriculture.

Wheat is the main crop in commercial grain agricultural areas, followed by barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, corn, potatoes and other food crops. Soybean plays an important role in legume crops, and cash crops include cotton, tobacco, flax, hemp and sugar beet. Because of the arid climate and unstable rainfall, irrigation plays a very important role in ensuring the stability and growth of output.

Cattle and sheep are the main animal husbandry in India and West Asia, while pigs and cattle and sheep are the main animal husbandry in China. The number of horses, mules and donkeys varies in different areas. Livestock is not only used for labor, but also the main source of meat, skin and hair.

Mediterranean agriculture: The main crops are wheat and barley, followed by oats and corn. Grapes, woody crops, olives and figs are widely cultivated cash crops in this area. Livestock include sheep, goats and pigs. Therefore, the combination of drought-tolerant crops, woody cash crops and raising livestock is the characteristic of agriculture in the Mediterranean region.

In Mediterranean agriculture, the production areas of agriculture, fruit trees and animal husbandry are separated from each other in space. Farmland where food crops are planted is mostly distributed on flat land and gentle slopes, vineyards, olives and figs are planted in hilly areas, and high slopes are grazing places. Due to the separation of livestock grazing and agriculture in this area, manure can not be used to supplement farmland nutrients, and farmland relies on fallow to restore soil fertility.
